194. I believe 168 and 151 work as well, they're all wedge bulbs.

Hey bro whatsss uppppp!
hahaha, alright, I shall share my secret.

this is via single LED opaque bulb
not too bright as you can see, but definately stands out.


a long exposure with my camera makes it look totally blue




and this is with a xenon bulb
nice and bright white light


not the best picture in the world, but you get the idea.
no more eww-stocky-yellow


so where can you buy those bulbs?

www.autolumination.com (i swear i should get COMMISSION for referring to them all the time! )

i believe its $2.99 for the 1LED opaque, and 1.99 for the xenon.

and of course there are other bulbs to choose from as well.

just stick you head underneath there and you'll see these two plastic pieces that cover the lights. Just unscrew them and the lights will be behind them

You gotta do those, to match the rest. I just put my corners in, and did my plate bulbs, looks way better, when you go white/blue instead of yellow

if you reach up behind them you will feel the connector that holds the bulb into the housing, just give it a twist and it should come out. Its a blind operation so just feel around till you get it.

Nice, I unscrewed the whole housing, like it shows in the helms, didn't realize you could twist the bulbs out, makes sense though, you can twist out all the other bulbs and corners.
