    So I'll basically just look to see how the existed light is and after removing it but the led on the same way as the pre-existing light? I know it's a lot of questions but I just wanna make sure I get all my info right before attacking this project so I don't mess anything up seeing as how I need this truck every day for work and school.

    See, I'm pretty lazy, so id rather just pay someone, (Jerez), to do this rather than waste a couple hours realizing how horrible I am at soldering and having it turn out like garbage. That's not to say that wont happen to anyone else, I'm merely remarking upon my own work, however, some people, (Jerez), have done this so often for others, they(Jerez) have it down to a science and get it done quickly and correctly.

    Bam! A Bump, an excellent recommemdation, and all done on a phone! Zing!

    these trucks run on leds already...all youre going to do is swap the existing (orange) led and solder in the new one with the color you want.
    so ya, unsolder the existing leds, resolder new leds but since they are leds, they need to be installed in the right polarity

    lmao. thanks man!!! no one is perfect...ive had my share of "oh shit" :anonymous:

    Ah thats right, i spaced the running out of greens. I was going to do some research to see if i could order the newer clock (or maybe get rid of it altogether) so it could be swapped to blue. Antsy to get that last bit of amber out of there lol.

    I still wish i had my 92 bmw 325i, the light output change looks amazing. I remember it was always so hard to actually read anything on it during the night.

    I know with the fog light he uses http://www.oznium.com/led, i believe the 5mm were the ones. Also youll need a resistor for the fog lights
