I'm pretty sure 3157 bulbs need to be modified to fit in our car. You gotta shave off some tabs or something.

yups.. those LED bulbs will plug into the socket.. but they wont fit into the light. The light must have shaved tabs inorder for it to fit. Once this is done... the light might fit loosely.

Maybe... anyway if they fit, they will certainly have a very good look + lightning power[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I think the price is for two bulbs, But $50 is a little pricey. They just might be worth it to get rid of that Orange bulb in my cleared headlights. I would like to hear from some people who already have them. It would suck if they are to loose and the bulb falls out into the headlight housing.

once you shave off the tabs in your tail lamp, the LED lights should have enough clearence for the LED bulb to sink in. But if the tabs are shaved, then there isnt any locking mechinism for the bulb itself. so it will fit loosely. I've installed a set in my friend's 2001 Prelude and tried to install a set in my es300. the only way i have encountered this problem is by shaving the tabs. so yups. it will fit loose!
