xHP5, just like the dash ones I recommended to you or xHP6, although I don't like those ebay markers because they aren't very reflective at all. You're going to have one bright spot vs the whole thing being illuminated. Why not just VHT or wrap your originals in vinyl tint? I'm running xHP5's in mine.



Do you have the link to the exact lights you're considering?

^^Those won't look very good when lit IMO because they are black on the inside and won't reflect light, so you'll have just one spot of light about the size of a quarter.

Yes, both options should fit in the stock ones. Like I mentioned, I have the xHP5's in my stockers...

VHT and clear coat is the best** option. Its pretty cheap and the final result looks better than those ebay ones IMO.

Yeah. The only only ones that don't have LED's are the ones that require the flashers cause I havent installed them yet.

I got what SuperbrightLEDS call the 360 type that way itll shine on the sides to help even out the light pattern in the housing.
