I just got a set from ESC, they work and look cool, but they blink when the car is running and set
off a bulb out. So I had to yank them out already. The only way to fix it is to install a resistor. To much of a headache.

Sigh.. I tried installing them and they don't fit (see inside)
Turns out that the side-directed LEDs (they have one center LED and 4 side-directed LEDs) stick out beyond the sides of the bulb, making it a tiny bit too large.
I wrote Hoen to let them know...
If anyone comes up with a neat way to make them fit, let me know. I was even considering destroying the side directed bulbs and filing them down, but I'm not sure what the overall effect on the bulb would be.

I'm stock now. The new Hoen bulbs should not overheat.

I'm stock except for the fogs...

2: turn signal
3: DRL
4: city light
Side-markers are not shown but have a silver coated bulb. The turn signal bulbs are covered by the orange plastic, so unless you do the clear corner mod, the bulb color really does not matter. Did that even come close to answering the question?
