That’s cool. I’ve already ordered them and I’m sure they’ll look better than they do now. I just hate that blue color for headlights.

Good point, definitelly. Yeah, normal leds are a tight fit, you have to cut the legs very close to the bulb, use thin wires and compress it a bit. But in my opinion normal leds are still worth it because of the beam. I do night missions and being able to see where I am going is awesome, lol.

In case that is not needed, then I suggest to use SMD warm white leds, which are even more flat and easier to fit.

If you are wanting a projected beam, don't forget to paint the inside of the lamp housing with chrome paint. It all helps. ;)
