So this past week I picked up LED bulbs from DDM Tuning here in San Diego here are some different pics of the install and some little tips on where to pry open the plastic covers. This front turn signal lights up yellow but due to the LED makes me have a quick blinker

I also tried this LED in my headlight (DDM guys were cool enough to let me install one on my car) and they worked awesome with less wiring than the HIDs. I did have to add and extra o-ring with bigger diameter to get them to fit snugly. I also saw online that they are fully waterproof and can be dunked in water with no problem. DDM wanted $140 plus tax for these but I found them on eBay through bpsperformance for $90 shipped. Waiting for them to be delivered.

Headlight LEDs were one of the first mods that I did to my car. Check out my set up here if you are interested: http://www.scionimforum.com/forum/electronics-audio-lighting/4609-my-led-setup.html

I believe I got them form the same place as you ordered yours, but I went with the bulb with heat sink instead of the fan. I hear that fans tend to fail. Don't order canbus modules, you won't need them.
Thanks viiv.... Yes that's how I found out about that company from your post.

I really like my LEDs, nice and bright. I'll be installing LED fogs very soon. I have all the parts already, and was suppose to do it last week, but some family stuff came up and I had to delay. Maybe next weekend...
instead of part numbers from ddm, do you have the light bulb sizes? im going to order everything online but Id hate to pull everything off just to put it back together. (well everything but the turn signals *I hate fast blinkers*)
So I finally put my Cree LED kit in from bps performance today. I ended up getting the LED kit from them through eBay for $89 shipped. Super easy install... Thought I had to adjust the beam but they came in the box already aligned right. I am pretty sure now that the kit I tried out at DDM as stated in an earlier post was the wrong kit as this one from BPS has bulbs that fit perfectly. The one to order is the kit for bulb 9012.

Volksparts,
by chance, have you changed the bulbs in the exterior mirrors (side markers)? If so, how do you change them out?
thanks,
