Any idea why its not as bright in the center like the pics on your website? Did i do something wrong?

the bulbs are polar sensative. pull the one out of the bottom center and turn the bulb 180 degrees in the socket then put it back in. then it should work

x2 if you read the instructions, it says exactly that, put the bulb in then put the cluster in if you have a dim spot you have a bulb backward. this happened to me last night. by the way you will love the lights once its all done

yea middle bulb is not touching metal or not in the right polarity.

eek.. that camera doesnt do the kit any justice. lol. Even the CEL looks like its revolting. =p

yeah i had to take my battery bulb out.. its been driving me nuts for the longest time. its on cause i have an 05 and my pcm is an 04. btw taking those bulbs out are a pain in the dick. i didnt have a multimeter needle so i was digging them out with a thumb tack.

the bulb issue for my 05 i just decided to pop the silver tabs out and then the last one slid the bulb right out clean off the contact's and then slide the led in with the wires like / \ (<--- my half ass of a diagram ) and then slid the metal tabs back in and wraped the end of the led wires around them.
