So my flanks and full interior LEDs came in tonight, thought I'd share some pics. All the lights together cost about 80 bucks and took about half an hour to install total.

VLEDs used to carry a lot more variations in their bulbs, inc the flank style but the ones now tend to be even better/brighter. I've used VLEDs in every car I've owned in the last decade and I wouldn't use anyone else. So IMO it's worth it if you can wait. But doing the puddle lights was the "scariest" swap of the bunch and in the end it really wasn't bad at all so I'm very happy I went ahead with it as well.

I have the 5K flanks in the puddles and door panels.

Get these

http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...58-1-pair.html

Because when you install them, the lights will be pointed down and these flanks are also pointed down. The other ones will work but these will give you the BEST light output for the puddle lights.

Thanks, I just ordered. How much would it be to have a shop install these? I have no confidence!

Oh please don't. 2 or 3 screws remove the housing and swap out the bulb

I've heard the dealer gets 3/4-1 hour labor.
