The stockers are pretty damn bright in those pics. I tried to solder in yellow ones before I installed my halos, and the solder or LEDs didn't work so only 2 of 4 halos work, and not very bright. Can't wait for your other pics.

so will these make the halo's brighter? cause I think you could imagine there would be a light there and it would be brighter than the crap they came with.

well i used 5mm bulbs and the ones it comes with are 3mm bulbs this is a larger bulb. more area in the bulb makes a wider light path..

in theory

Damn that looks a lot easier than soldering which i already did lol. I've been wanting to try red ones, maybe I will order some of these and see how they come out.

I have a boat load of 3mm blue LED's which are SUPER bright...but they are also very narrow in the light pattern they put out... so we'll just hafta experiment i guess

You have to look at the Luminous Intensity of the color you are going to order... Higher # = brighter... the 5mm are brighter, and fit so I would use those

There is a rubber grommet on the bottom, that you have to "pull out." After you pull that out, you pull out the LED's.

Here is a how-to: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/how-guide-43/how-replace-burnt-out-halo-68874/
