any guides on replacing these guys? I am interested in replacing my city lights as well as my low beams and my puddle lights, I am about to order but I am wondering if anyone would be nice enough to show me a guide or is it in the manual?

Its actually pretty easy to install... Obviously you first remove all the covers.
I dont have pics but i could explain it to you.

For the driver side
1. Using a 10mm socket remove the wiper fluid thingy
2. Look at the high beam housing and directly on the back of it is a cover. Remove the cover by unclipping it.
3. There will be two backs of two bulbs, remove the on thats on top (the left one), this should be the parking light.
4. Pull out the bulb for the harness and replace it with the LED.
5. put everything back together.

For the passanger side
1. Remove the air intake system, remove two 10mm bolt and then loosing the other bolts that are holding the intake box inplace, the remove the intake.
2. Follow steps 2-5 for the driver side.

Hope this helps. Good Luck. Oh and if you live in the OC are, i would be more than happy to help you out.

+1 w/ blacked housings and no DRL for LED. Still got the nasty bulb in it. I'm gonna ask the dealer to turn off the DRL's when I go in for an alignment.

It's not a big deal. Give yourself enough spare wire and you could always go back to stock. Quick splices make it real clean.

Thanks for the clarification. How are you enjoying your 11SMT CLs? Are they bright?

If I get these will they delete my High-Beams?

If I went with this, would my turn signals still be amber?

No. The parking lights are a small 194 bulb located right about the high beam, in the high beam reflector housing.

Look at my post (#19). I have the same setup. When the parking lights are on, they (the turn signals) light up white. When the turn signals are on, the turn signals alternate between white and amber. When the parking lights are on, the turn signals just blink amber. There's a video at the bottom of my post showing what I'm talking about.

This is a custom mod though - not a simple bulb swap. You replace the 7440 plug that the stock turn signal bulbs go into with a 7443 plug and 7443 "switchback" LED's. Got mine from v-leds.com. The 7443 has a constant as well as switched lead which allows for the dual function.

They are not too bright, not as bright as 27SMT, but I kinda like it like that. It kind of looks like a dim halo from certain angles because the power is so low. You'll see it in person soon.
