well whats out? the 3 leds or the bar? if its the 3 leds you can buy leds from like radio shack. but your going to pay and arm and a leg, other wise try ebay. or seach 3mm leds on google. the bar i belive youe would have to take the headlight apart and replace that or deal with it out. but the lil leds you should be able to get at from the back, but im not certain, i dont own these lights or have seen the back of them.
Thanks. I think I will have to take them apart anyways to get to the bar and to fix the ceal. I just have no clue how to do any of this. Never done it looks like its going to be an experiment? haha
well buy some black silicon form the auto store, and if you take your head light apart, what you want to do is use an oven, pre heat it to 200-220, then take the light set it in the oven and let it sit in there for 1 min take it out and try to pull it apart, if you didnt get it apart in the first 30 sec of being out put it back in the oven again, try it again same way. not there are some screws on the back of the head light take those out first befors going in the oven, then once you got it open do what you got to do, then when it come to putting them back together, your going to want a hair dryer too now or heat gun, on the head light part heat up all the silicon on the light and get it to sink back in the the groove it placed in then you can put a nice bead of your silicon in that groove, then place that houseing in the oven with that facing up so it doesnt go all over the place, then with the heat gun while that parts in the oven go over the edge of the lense heating the silicon on the lense up, once the houseing is done in the oven for a min take it out and put the two together carefully, once you have done that apply presure for bout a min then put them in the oven again for like a few mins with the onven only at about 150 and with the lense facing up, make sure its only 150 so this way nothng will get damage for being in there for a few mins, casue its just like the headlight would bee in the dirrect sun. after a few mins take the light out and be careful to not burn your self then apply presure on the light for at least 5mins while a fan blows on it to speed up the process of it cooling. then if you want you can take the silicon and run a nice small bead around the lense and then go back over it smoothing it out with your finger and then your done
note before you put the headlight bulbs of blinkers let the headlight sit for a few hours so the light doesnt collect mosture from the cooling process then put them in and put back on your car
