uhh... hmmm... HKS is a brand of exhaust, Ooglie (just say it out loud) is something made to look like brand name, but ghetto-style...

in the clear corners you'll need 194/168 bulbs. you can get them either at your local rice shop or pepboys, depending on the quality you want.

for more info, check the FAQs

the install is crazy easy. all you need is a screw driver and a couple 2"x9" chrome tips from Pepboys... i'd prolly go for 8". 9" is a tad long, but it looks fine.

after figuring it out on the first one, the rest were cakewalk... perhaps a total of 1.5 hours, doing all of them and stuff... it's not too bad. just need a steady hand...

Alex, looks too bright to the point where it might annoy you dont it?

Anyways, does the dimmer still work on the leds? and why in the writeup you stated that "do not let the solder touch each other on the same side otherwise it wont work" I mean if both side are positive and they are kinda shorted out with the solder, why will it not work? They are both the same polarity arnt they?

no, not at all.. it's in my blind spot.

yep! i was so stoked when i saw it working!

Dixit
for some reason it just didn't work. i have a feeling that the way the two tiny LEDs are wired is in a sort of a zigzag pattern... kinda like batteries in a walkman... either that or i don't know what i'm talking about.. i just know it didn't work when the solder touched both terminals. yes.
