no problem pocky! i had a pair of 6-led refractors on hand also a pair of the 5-led refractors...the 6's dont fit they are too big but the 5's fit fine (these are the same ones i have in for the parking lights)...it doesnt give off much light but it has a nice color...i dont think the puddle lamps serve much of a purpose anyway lol heres a pic

Hey CaThaFer,

Can you please post some pics from the side mirrors from a bit further away? I would like to see how they look from a distance. Thanks!!

My pictures of the LEDs doesnt do it justice at all. Its actually pretty bright and I can see it shining on the ground as well. As for the interior, I can see everything, so dont let that picture fool you guys.

I bought these LEDs about two weeks ago from V-Leds.com. Its the exact bulbs jewel posted. (I didn't purchase the third 194 bulb that was posted though so I don't know if the colors match, but as far as the first two (194 and dome light, they match perfectly!)

Sweet! Looking good. I'm going to order some nice expensive LED bulbs right now and install them. I'll post pics once I get those suckers on.

On another note, I got myself a pair of the ES350 door lense, installed some LED's into there. I took it with my camera phone. Whatcha think? I'm not a very steady person either.

Hey CaThaFer!!

Thanks for the pics!! It seems like the LEDs don't illuminate as much as the halogens...
