super bright blue LED. Even though, it's not as bright as it would be if flushed mount but it's cooler the stock red LED. the process is simple and straight forward. remove the door panel, de-solder the stock LED from the small board and solder the blue LED on.

my digi went out of battery. besides, it was so hard to catch the blinks with digi.
Yup, I believed NovawhitetypeS was talking about it but he's waiting for me to put it on.

wow you make it seem so simple... but i'm sure many do not have a soldering iron

It is easy, especially if you get the exploded view drawings from the parts dept for taking apart the door (if you want, I can take you through the disassembly process).

Soldering irons run about $12 at Radio Shack.

YEs finally!! I'll capture a mpeg w/ my digicam as soon as you send me the instructions and I complete it on my car.

Here is the pic. The quality is kindda bad cuz I had to turn off the flash but anyway y'all can still see the different.

The instruction is really straight forward.
1. Remove door panel. There are 2 screws. One under the arm rest. The other at the door handle. Use a small screw driver to pop the little cover up and the screw is there. You need to remove the tweeter housing as well. Remove the housing by holding the upper right conner and pull it out.

Pull out the door panel then lift it up from the door edge (bottom of the windows)
2. Disconnect all wiring harnesses.
3. Locate the little board that holds the LED. Unplug the wiring harness. Use a small screw driver to release the tab that locks the board in place. Be careful here, do not break the board. Pull the board out so you have room to work.
4. De-solder the stock LED. Solder the aftermarket LED in.
IMPORTANT: BE CAREFUL about the polarity of the LED. If you install it reversed, it wont work. Make sure you notice the stock LED's polarity before removing it. If you have a volt meter with diode checking capacity, you can always test for polarity. If the aftermarket LED doesnt work after you install it, remove, turn it 180 degree and solder it back in. Even I have de-soldering tool, it still tough for me to take it out (space limited) so try to get it right the first time. Good luck.

I guess that was my fault, he was looking for a thread on this topic over at a-tl, so I dug up this thread. Unfortunately, SilverKnight doesn't post here anymore to answer any questions.
