Alright so i prevailed I guess... Both pieces are out but it wasnt easy. The second attempt was much more successful with the use of my dremel. The only problem is they are both pretty scratched up. Does anyone know where to just get the glass part not the whole assembly?

New 194 Bulbs
Today i recieved my new 194 leds for my courtesy lights and........One is awsome and the other is about half on.
I just emailed them hope to get a replacement for it. Out of my new h11 leds one 1 of them fits so im pretty much on a roll. Im hoping to get another on of them to. To top it all off my 16 led dome light that I bought is more aqua and doesnt match the courtesy light. Is that Strike 3?

Moved my pics over here as to not clutter up your thread too much.
Includes night time shots.

Two questions.....Do your D2S's flicker just a pinch when you first turn on your headlights?
Do you think it's possible to put what I will call the plastic cover allowing access to the headlights on too tight?

Yeah, I'm running V-leds there as well, but not the same type as you. Kinda don't like that star-ish looking pattern so much, so I just have these(see attached). Think they are the 18 SMT LED single design. It's been so long, I don't remember.
Georx8..............you got a night shot from a little further away?

Momentum Keeps Me Going
Not enough current draw from LEDs to activate the flasher unit correctly as it was never designed for LEDs. You need about 2 amps draw/bulb. So you add resistors in PARALLEL (correction) to the LED lamp to increase current draw.

If choose not to put resistor on it, will it damage the flasher unit?

i think mine doesn't have provision for the lights "under" the compartment box and for the pedals , do i need to hotwire an LED strip to have it working?

Okay, Aipex. Give me a hand here.
I want red LEDs to replace my dome lights and courtesy lights, but the bulb codes are confusing me and it's driving me nuts.
I think I may have found the right bulb for the dome lights, but I have no idea for the courtesys:

I'd appreciate the help.
