I just bought from them.
It was around $35 including tax and shipping.

I bought mine as well as all my other lights in the past from ijdmtoy.com! I highly recommend them for anything involving led lights for cars. The exact item I bought from them is exceptionally bright and was $65, but it seems pyspeed.com has the same item for $35 so that is an absolute steal!

That will tell you all the bulb part numbers in the car.

Hope that helps in your search.

I was told u take out the screws a little bit and pull it out by the screws. Also I was told you need to remove the rear trunk paneling to install them. Not really sure how to do it though or if this applies to your vehicle. I got some from psyspeed, but I haven't gotten around to having them installed.

haha. Let me save you all the hassle that I went through trying to figure this tricky but easy problem out. To install the led lights you obviously need to take the whole oem housing out, but not through the little hole from the outside. To take them out you must remove the trunk lid or the piece of the trunk that the license plate bolts into.

1. Remove trunk lid (There are two screws inside the trunk one on the very left and the very right). You only have to remove the trunk liner enough to get your hand inside the trunk to unplug the wiring going to the oem housing and to reconnect the wiring to the led housing at the end).

2. After removing those two bolts there is one more which is also inside the trunk and directly beneath the license plate and it also has a washer.

3. After removing these three bolts your trunk lid can now be popped off, but be careful because there are six snap connectors also holding the lid in and if you pull to hard they can break. (You still need to pull hard enough though to pull them out)

4. Now you have access to the oem housing and they should just pop out.

Here is a picture that might better illustrate where the bolts are.

why not get the led's from pyspeed that have 18 led's on each side instead of six? They are brighter and whiter.
