I don,t like them. I ordered a pair for my lexus. first they sent me the wrong ones. then the ones they sent don,t work correctly. they only work when the brakes are applied. they are supposed to work for the running lights as well. next thing for led's for me are the led whole light housing. just be carefull.

You'll need 2 194 style LEDs in the front. The style that have 4 SMDs on the side, with 1 SMD on the top will fit.

The the second row, you'll need the festoon type. I can't remember the length.

In the rear, I think it's also a festoon type, but I ended up getting a large panel with a festoon fitting.

The damn fresnel lenses in the second row make it appear dimmer than what it really is. Just one of the LEDs I used in the second row is enough to brightly light up my roommate's Mustang.

IVE GOT MY INTERIOR DONE TOO MAKE SURE FOR THE FRONT YOU GET THE 194 WITH THE LIGHT ON THE SIDE BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE REFLECTOR BOWL.. LIKE THIS

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-X-Car-4-LED-5...035?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b81ac293

IT WAS 42MM BULBS (6 SMD EACH) FOR THE MIDDLE ROWS AND THE BACK THE SAME 42MM (BUT THE SIDEWAYS CHIP WITH 6SMD)

MIDDLE:

REAR:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dome...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

THIS SETUP OFFERS THE MOST LIGHT I EBAY'D EVERYTHING SO AT A FEW BUCKS EACH, IF IT DIDNT WORK I STUCK IT IN THE WIFES CAR AND GOT A BRIGHTER BULB FOR THE EXPY, ALSO IF YOU GET A GOOD ENUFF DEAL ON THOSE 194'S THE LICENSE PLATE AND COURTESY IS THE SAME BULBS TOO

My second row are 9 SMD, 120ish lumen (IIRC), 41-42mm. I think like 6 bucks each. A friend of mine gets them for me, usually takes him a week and a half to get them. Same person I got my LED reverse lights, though they weren't as bright as I thought. Granted, I think I'll just get fog lights and throw them in the rear.

This is the type I have in my fronts. Not these exact ones, just this type. Mine have a clear bottom. Again, I got these through my friend. I think 6 bucks for the pair.

More LED pix :p

Reverse lights with plate lights. The reverse look bright when looking at them, but they (or the housings) don't throw much light on the ground.

My setup looks just like elvato's, and i did all 9 bulbs at once it was like $27 (2 front, 2 middle, 1 rear, 2 license plate, and 2 courtesy lights) its a night and day difference and you can actually find something if you drop it at night in your truck, and unforturately it too 2 weeks but im willing to wait for that price. And i know the black cloud around ebay/hong kong electronics and my lights have been installed for a little over a year and i have had no problems!
