Here You Go: http://my7thgen.org/f57/how-remove-y...il-lights-142/

Its On the 7th Gen Forum, They have some good DIY. KMoney did this one.

Link to All Bulb Sizes - http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applic...l=1315&make=65

and I would go to VLEDs.com - Get the 6K White..They are Awesome!

basically your tail lights have to come off the car and then you install the bulbs then put them back on the car

Yeah, it seems a bit too complicated to me. I wan't to change them to White LEDs, but I am not ready to mess my car up anymore. I might take it to the shop and get owned with a high priced job.

Ghozt if you come to NY, can I hire you for a day to just fix up my car a little bit with me? (Serious question)

I did this with my 5.5gen, but its ALOT more than just replacing bulbs. You would have to cut your tail lamp assembly

there's a DIY somewhere, but basically take off the trim inside the trunk, take off the 2 nuts on the exposed bolts, and use a rubber mallet and hammer on those bolts until the tail lights pop out. the other way where u pry them out risks breaking stuff off, but i can get mine out pretty easily now.

my next planned trip to NY is for the eastcoastmaxima meet, ill honestly probably be too busy staring at all the other sexy maximas to do any work

On the v-leds site which 5k or 6k led did you guys buy? Or how many leds were on the reverse lights
I have the eBay led kit that everyone initially bought but the reverse lights aren't not bright enough to light up the road.
