    These look right WLED-xHP5? Or were the first ones on the list the ones you were talkin about?

    i would get the ones i pointed out, the WLEDxHP5 are polarized so if you plug them in the the wrong way youll blow something or destroy the led the WLEDx5 are bright enough and are non polarized so its more hasslefree

    Damn, I wasnt quite sure which were better and thought the others were brighter. I also noticed that they looked alot like some of the others that other people pointed out so I went ahead and ordered them. :( What is different about installing them to make sure they dont blow? :confused: Guess thats what i get for not listening huh?

    they will work you just need to double check the polarity of the lights... + to + and - to -

    if your seriously doubting your ability to check them you can always return them and get the WLEDx5

    yes everything thats normally lit up will be the color of your choice.. all the aux lights have their own bulbs/light channels

    That the only way to test for polarity? Is there not an indicator what so ever?

    Did you ever get a chance to see if there were any markings on the cluster to judge polarity?

    Well......the lights are in, on, and working fine. I really like the new look. I only ran into one problem. It ended up being small but could have been bad. I put three of the lights in right but somehow messed up on the fourth. Plugged it up and found that three were on. Luckily I simply pulled it out, spun the light and plugged it back up. Works fine and looks sweet. Pics will be up when it gets dark. Thanks for all of the help.

    The things required to pull bitches
    That didn't cause a problem. I did that on mine too and it works fine.
