But now i cant decide if i should cut out the blur window and refit the black outlining or yust leave it out enterly?

Also wanted to pop leds in like in tutorial... but does anyone know if i need to screw em in the inside or yust fit em in the inside? (as in does the clear glass need to be off?)

nah right now I'm selling the loose sets.

As for your Question, I have also pondered that same question. I always wondered how people got those thru the factory holes. I guess they'd have to open up the housing like you did.

typically LEDs have a extremely long lifespan and they'll probably outlive your car. Yes try to find some but I'm thinking that bigger ones might be better.

well atm i found out that soem tuning company makes leds to replace original bulbs... BUT only white ones that bright up red... wierd if ya ask me.. they never thought about a backup light or orange ones for turn signal (yes EU is orange)

but true on your point these look a bit small as they are ment to replace original ones.... what would you sugest yourself?

and outlive my car... hmm ok np there then cuase my typical ownership of a car is 1-3 years then im fed up and get a other one :roll:

not bad... looking for a bit more visual leds though... but i geus you installed it when covers where off and then put covers back on?

think i need to visit a electronic shop and look what they can order...

Considering leds dont die soon i could do that (still got covers off atm)
