    Not really, buy aftermarket, plug them in.
    I meant if you were to physically switch the globes yourself.

    Typically when adding stand alone leds to a car that did not have leds, a $5 resisistor is all that is needed. As far as the fitment, its not uncommon for aftermarket lights to bave minor issues with sealing or fitment. My aftermarket lights also let some mositure in, I haven got around to heating the compound and pushing it together more. One of the lights also sticks out very slightly due to the sealent being extra thick on one edge. In all nothing worth the trouble of tryinv to get a replacement since these are jdm/taiwan/china items

    I've got these, they'll disable traction control and cruise control. They're available via Ebay for $280. They do look good, but be prepared to purchase and install 2 resistors per light to eliminate the problems they cause. It isn't that bad an install, but tight and you'll need a second set of hands to hold the light while you mount the resitors.
