Found your post on this today. I had some difficulty with the driversl side (passenger in US and mainland Europe) but your first explanation was excellent. I could have benefitted with GI Joe sized hands however! I put in LED's with a focused forward beam and 10 around the sides, Looks great in the dark, thanks again.

Hi All,
Just wondering if someone can confirm these bulbs will fit in the Parking light location :

This thread is going nuts with LED lighting all over, I picked up 2 sets from deal express for the "Nike lights" as I have one that is out (factory I think). One set to install, one set to go on the shelf incase one goes..
So, what is good replacement LED for the FOG lights. They have a yellowish tint to the lights and like a LED white look. of course with out needing a anything more than a bulb.

re-read this thread for a bit of an update. opened my 1st set of 07 La headlights w/o washers by the way (something i said I'd NEVER do again) but such is the mod life.. as I'm playing a few ideas I figured I could share some more info.. at present I have a set of h1 led kit (or h11 I can never remember) wired as "nike drl" but on my oem lights w/washers.. the nike is broken by the washer an looks terrible to me hence the mod. (on a new to me set w/o washers) to answer the depth question for those not willing to crack open the light housing.. a narrow bulb with 2" or less depth.. Will fit just fine it's only a matter of getting a proper seal.. (i use 100% clear silicone rubber sealant) allow 24 b4 exposure to moisture.. here are some pics of my current project.. the only bulb I had on hand was the oem hid bulb.

Seems reasonable as well.

Would these work ? They look like the perfect color (pure white is what I want and get rid of that ugly yellow on the fog lights)

Dam, I don't know how you guys do it, I tried to swap the Nike lights and after an hour I got the grill off but, getting in there, I could not even get my hands in there.
Anyone in CT want to do these for me ? I'll pay you for it...even more if you can pop in the remote starter for me too..

It is a pain. There are 2 wiring harness in the way mounted on a metal tab. You have to disconnect the harness and bend the metal tab out of the way. It is a challenge if you have large hands. I hope you have extra bulbs because I lost a few doing this mod.

Thanks but, I am going to have to bring it someplace.. After about 3 hours trying to replace one bulb, disconnecting them and could not even get my hands in there. It's be a lot easier to pay someone $40 to do the swap. Sigh...

Bumping a old thresd... So recapping . I have to unplug both light harnesses then bend the metal bracket that they sit on? Is this correct? And if this correct what's the best method of unplugging these 2 light harnesses? Thanks
