    Why use LEDS? cause they last longer than painted bulbs and are much brighter ;)

    here is the bulb removed ;) see the arrows? use that to release bulb..

    As you can see the bulb is soldered - Grrrrr

    solder it on the anode (positive leg) make sure u trim led as it has to be as the same height as the bulb :p
