Hmmmm..... That's almost what it looks like from my perspective from the video.... But there just has to be a way. You know?
My boy had the 3rd Gens. I wonder if he trashed them, or sold them, or I wonder if he still has them at his house somewhere.... Let me ask him & see.

I don't think it should be a problem.. The cops in Montreal don't seem to care.. But I'd really love to know how to do it..

CCFL's are alot brighter then the LED but would also eliminate the "need" to resolder the ones u have now.... you would still have to connect power and ground but same as the ones u have now

Thank you for this - I've been annoyed that my halos are too dim of a blue (can't really see them during the day).

I don't have any soldering stuff, though. I guess I can't do it without that, huh?
