Bump!
Had a lot of requests for me to do these for people. After Consideration and what a pain in the **** it is to cut the housings open, I will be offering them for $60 + Return shipping.

Also, the leds are now up on my website for sale for this modification. They are located in the led section under the parts and kits link.

Sounds like a bad solder joint to me! Or did ya cook the led soldering it on..? I have seen a few people say they have that issue and when I see the led, 1/2 the case is metled and cooked from to much heat from the iron. Did you use the superflux leds I use or a 3mm - 5mm..? Shoot me a pm anytime.

I bought the LEDs from your web sight I actually had to order 2 more because I burnt 2 of them with my iron causing them not to work, so I dont have a right side mirror blinker until i get the other 2 I just ordered from you

So if its bad soldering, why did they just start giving me problems now? should i take them off and do it again?

Overheating them siginificatley reduces lifespan on any led, especially if it is serious overheating. Some may work forever and some may kick the bucket usually within a few days or so if you cook them. What size iron are you useing for them..? If the plastic gets melted on install in any way then your killing them. They are rated on there contacts for about 270 degrees for 5 seconds. If your useing a radioshack 40W iron or so, your nukeing them at about 400-500+

i soldered in my LEDs and plugged them in to check if they worked...they don't even light up. I soldered them just like in the picture. Are they suppost to be positive or neg sides?

Yes there is a positive and negative side!!!!! The little cut corner is the negative side of the bulb! You also have to know what side that is when you remove the old leds! You take the old out and put the new in the exact same way!

If you get 1 180 out or both, they will not light up. Good thing is you most likley did not hurt them, just solder them in correctly!
