I installed a set, got them on eBay:

At first I had an error code, but after a few restarts the error code went away. I like the nice pure white light the LEDs produce.

Cheers mate. Yeah ive seen pictures and it looks so much nicer...

Is it just a matter of taking the screws out and a straight swap?

Thanks again

Correct.... if it takes you more then 5 minutes then you're doing something wrong. 8-)

Only thing is you have a 50/50 chance of getting the polarity wrong... no damage happens to the bulb, you just need to flip it around.
