 can you link me to the ones you used in the mirrors? How involved is it to get to/replace them? I thought i recalled you have to remove the whole mirror etc.? PS...if you want the whitest/brightest OEM look for LED's ALWAYS go with CREE. Those are the only ones I do nowadays for all my cars. You will be able to tell its CREE as the LED looks like it has a clear shell and then a green chip inside it. | ||
