Well if it does not fit in the hole you can return it. Since it's such a quick install just do it in the parking lot. It's really that easy.

Just roll it off from the base up Woa that sounds bad. But it was that easy for my xA.


But why would you take it off like that if you have a full load in it??

LOL so back on topic

Some people seem to not have access to the "rubber" covers Not every Autozone/Pepboys carry them. I am gonna try and find out the manufacturer so you guys can order them online.

Okay, I did it... I went with blue. It's a little dimmer than I had hoped, but I kinda like it. It matches the "Lithium" color of the head unit pretty well... If I can find my camera, I'll take a pic.

Unfortunatly the LEDs produce an uneven look so this is a better option i think. I think it we can find one that fit's a well as the OEMs it might be brighter as is is snug and there is less space for the light to escape.

I hope to see the pics soon

Out of the three Autozones and 2 Advanced Auto Parts I have been to none of them carry the gel caps (I think is what they are called) or rubbers, whatever. Anyway if anybody finds the manufacter online before I do please let me know I really want to do this but can't find them anywhere. Infini I know you are looking but if anyone finds them first please post a link or something. Thanks.

THey are at the Autozones and Pep Boys in LA so I think it's regional.

Yeah I'm getting kinda irritated. Everyone I have went to says"Oh yeah, we used to carry those but not anymore" and when I ask why not they say there isn't enough demand for them.

Hmmm, well I still have not found out the manufacturer so I will make that a priority. Than you guys can do a search and find them online. I mean if Autozone had them than they can't be too hard to find some where online.

Pilot is the manufacturer. I was told the same thing at two of my local autozone stores as you were Night_Shadows. I found plenty of them at the local Pep Boys. I could not find them specifically listed on the website, but this is the manufacturer.

It looks like Victor also manufactures them. These are not the brand that people have been using, but they should work too.

You can not order off either one of these websites is the only downfall of them.


What color are you looking for Shadows?

I kind of have it in my mind to offer to pick some up for people if they can't find them at their local stores. I wouldn't charge anything more than cost+shipping. No profit.
