Yup, those are the puddle lights, and they're a part of the guide (first post).

Is it possible to change the turn signal bulb to LED on the side view mirrors?

Kasim, yea there sure is. In fact I was hoping to find someone in Florida to do this and/or do mine while also finding a CL "friend" that is doing him at the same time that way if either of us finds any snags we can help eachother.
PM me for the DIY. I'll link it to ya. Gotta go find it too. I'm subscribed to it.

Oh i still need to get separate relay & harness.

I think i'll go for a V-LEDS 6K 9005 HIGH POWER LED DRL KIT .

Update:
Did some search and i've found that a lot of people bushing v-led DRL's, it dies pretty quick.
Here's thread.

Maybe i should go with ijdmtoy???
here
or
this one ?
The ijdmtoy LED DRL's are sitting at my house. I will post pics of the install this weekend when done. I thought I read that someone as well, but ALOT of people have the VLED so possibly its just the rule of large numbers...

Haven't really seen a way around it. Thinking a rubber grommet and black silicone should do the trick. I don't like the idea of trying to stuff a ton of electrics with a good amount of heat into a small space.

I guess we will see this weekend either way.

I went ahead and got one from v-led, so no drilling for me.

Should get it tomorrow, or wheneva.
Ill let you know how i'll turn out.

Hopefully, it wont burn out within couple of weeks like some pips complaining.

Thanx guys.

One more question on smoking tail lights. I've asked question but no1 answered.
I really like how it looks here.

^ That has nothing to do with this thread. Try and bump other relevant threads.

Very nice. I think it'd be cool to do a side by side comparison of the install and lighting effects of the two kits so people would know too.

After further reading, I've seen where someone got ijdmtoys to send a smaller decoder than earlier kits had. As I haven't opened the box yet, we'll see how it goes. Hopefully its similar now to the VLED setup. Not holding my breath just yet though.
