i thought maybe u bought the wrong part but it's right. you just need to use a little force. be careful though. i sorta detached the LED part from the base when i was installing one of my turn signals. had to use gorilla glue and tape to keep it together.

Just had a question on the drl light. I ordered the 9006 but this is actually the only thread for which I've seen it posted as 9006. Most other threads are the 9005. Also in this post is the bulb the high beam light that I would be replacing the 9006 with. I got the city light in which was the light that is on with the headlights at night but noticed inthe day it's still the yellow orig light

the DRL bulb and high beam bulb are the same thing, just running at a lower wattage when operating as a DRL

Great write up!!! i did my trunk and reverse lights ... and i always wanted LED blinkers... but v-led had been out of stock for the 4led flasher that keeps the lock confirmation (i heard it being called the "new CF18" or CF19).... but i couldn't find it anywhere else.... does anyone know where else i can order it?

i'm going to replace all my exterior lights and sourcing them from v-led sight but my one question is whats the difference between the 360, flank, and forward lights?

am i correct in assuming the 360 leds are going to be best for the parking lights and the reverse lights?

for the fogs i'm thinking blue 9006 and for the low beams phillips 600K HID.

also prolly swap out the reverse lights and then upgrade the LED tail lights.

any suggestions for the best looking LED tail lights?

cheers.

I never heard of replacing the oem red tail lights. Those things are so bright already, kind of no point.

Please fix the pics in the very beginning. They were good before. Please it would help so many members. As to we take these components out often and try to tackle this area DIY style for many. I hope they can fix it! Thank you CL
