So my LED's came in this afternoon an I raced to put them on..

It's a simple process, took 5min or so to complete.

Tools:
Flathead Screwdriver (small).

Before:



Slide the screwdriver to the side of the housing, an pop it out.
Pic already has the LED (sorry got impatient)

Once you have it out just pull out the bulb (VERY HOT) an replace with LED.


After:

tashakes

Here we go, more leds..... alrite, what kind did you use? So now I have to do the puddle lights, trunk lights and driving lamps (I already received these).

Nice write up

Can you link us to the site that you bought the LED's from and exactly what ones?

As well, I am planning on doing the DRL's, license plate LED's, inner trunk LED's as well as driver and passenger lower trim LED's.

MINE DO, I remember when greenojos, A8LOONG, Theif came out to get their D3's dropped, we noticed My 04' had Projectors as theres did not, an there was an O5'/06'D3 in the mix..

Pretty positive I don't have projectors in my fogs, mine are actually in need of cleaning the surface of the light is a bit grimy to be honest. But you can never tell because it doesn't distort the light and you can only see it when close close up.

For those of us with the new style grille. Getting to the drivers side headlight requires removal of the the power steering resivoir. Found that out the hard way while I was following the write-up for the parking light LED conversion write up.

Are you going to try a LED bulb swap out for the inside interior lights?

AEinaD3

I might, havent decided yet though.

I have a friend who did it on is Acura TL and it looks really nice. I dont know how easy it will be to do the the LED bulbs in the inside. I am hoping that you would try it first :-).

So far I did the DRL's and door lights. I am having trouble with the license plate lights because one side the screw is rust & stripped(I have to break out the dremel. Its still packed with my other tools) and the other side dont have a screw and hard to come off. I will figure it out soon though.
