Yes, I'll second this. It was really frustrating, I believe all the clips are in, but on the driver's side, it's still pretty wiggly. It's not about to fall out or anything, but it bothers me anyway.

It was a breeze taking out the old sidemarkers for me, but it was impossible to put the new ones in. I tried to bend the metal clip so it would snap into place but it just wouldn't go in. I ended up breaking the clip off and now I'm using double sided tape there instead. Seems to be holding on strong, hope it stays that way.

Is it necessary to replaced the bulbs with amber ones? Could I just leave the bulbs stock and replace the lenses?

you don't have to. you'll just have a white light when it's turned on instead of amber.

Dien · 09-03-2012, 03:21 AM

does anyone have a picture with the stock bulbs on with the clear lenses? I'm not sure if i wanna switch them out for amber or buy a different set of white bulbs.

Couldn't get mine out until I tried this, thanks

Depending on where you are located, it may be required by law for the light to be amber.

Just wanted to chime and say nice writeup. Also thanks for the support everybody. We are very confident with our LEDs and have nothing but happy customers thus far.

Are these the bulbs we should use?

The "yellow" is out of stock I guess

Mengsta · 12-31-2012, 09:18 PM

Yeah those 194s will fit. Sorry they went out Dizz1e. Unfortunately those sold out faster than we though and won't be getting more until several more months. HOWEVER, we do have these 194's in 5LED : http://stores.mengmotorsports.com/-s...wer/Detail.bok. In my opinion it might even look better because it shoots all around. Same color as the aluminum model. A Yellow - Orange type color.

Pengasus · 02-09-2013, 10:12 PM

Nope, damn thing just won't come out. If anyone is going to have a go at it, please post a video. I can't find a video of it anywhere

tripjammer · 02-09-2013, 10:30 PM

It's easy bro. Follow the steps shown in the first post of the thread. Are you replacing either a clear corner marker? To me, replacing the front markers with clear corners and amber LEDs was easier that replacing the rear backup lights with Cree LEDs...
