    As long as the socket feeds the lamp at 3 volts, otherwise you'll need a resistor inline.

    Take the dead bulb out and measure the base.

    Those LEDs are already equiped with resistors, you're good there.

    ... I thought you were going to install an LED from scratch by soldering it in yourself... my bad. :eek:

    The fog light switch will be the 3mm ones on SuperbrightLEDs. I'm not sure if the diff one is the same. Take them out and compare.

    Ok the lights mentioned above are perfect minus just a little shaving with a knife.

    On the led is 2 pieces of plastic on each side of the led that are used to twist and lock in

    I shaved those of, the led then slides into the slot and locks in

    If it does not come on, rotate the led in the slot

    www.Supperbrightleds.com

    Use the NEOx-xHP, 3mm in the color you want $2.29 each


    Just an FYI if you decide to buy

    Why did you shave off what locks it in?

    If you do not it will not fit, even after trimming it fits very tightly.

    Did you trim the entire locking part off? Or just trimmed it down? And what did you use?
