Parking Lights

I purchased some LEDs from V-LEDs for my parking lights, do i really have to remove the tire and fender well lining just to replace this tiny bulb? or is there an easier way to do it?

the alternate way is to pull up your air intake boxes and go through the top--- it's also a PITA

I'd love to replace my yellowish parking lights with something much whiter. Which model LEDs did you purchase from V-LEDs? Thanks

You can go from the top by removing the air intake box, but it's honestly easier to pull the wheel and fender liners. It's not hard at all. I'm using a 5 SMD from Diode Dynamics and it works and looks great. I think they were like $7 or $8

i'm running the same setup except with the 2-SMD's from Diode Dynamics... the color non-match pisses me off, i've been trying to find something that more closely matches our HID's
