New LED's

[Tex_h2]

Well, I just bought these new 3157 led's off the net from HongKong and wow....these things are bright. The only thing is they work in every socket except for the day time running lights. Does anyone know if I should just try replacing the socket itself? or ??

Changing the socket shouldn't make that big o' difference, but if you dont fit it right then you might get constant condensation inside the lights and will look like crap after a while... OR you might want to switch to HIDs. (they're really cheap on Ebay right now)
Any pics?? I would like to see the front Markers with those on.
Thanks!

Not being a SMART ASS, but FLIP THEM AROUND.....

The conectors on the LED's will only work ONE WAY.....I had the SAME PROBLEM with LED's for my DRL's and my LED Tails.....

Thanks HummBob...not sure what I would do with out that helpful hint,
But...they are working now. I had to modify the metal strip at the bottom by moving them to the left a bit.

I also plugged them into the markers but they don't blink so I kept the stock bulbs. Here are two pics with my camera phone. 50981
