^ 2x on that. OP, when I put my new ones in about 2-3 years ago, the aftermarket ones seem to have went in and out a lot easier than the factory ones ever did.

Jess, I got what your saying now. The ones you posted seem to have done the same thing my first set did by melting the hole where the bulb goes and the "reflector" in the back part of the housing.

Gotcha. After my first set got fried because of the bulbs, I bought a new set and when I did, I ordered LED's and put them in and haven't had the problem since but I have put in my factory corners cause I was getting tired of the clear corner look and my clear corners were starting to get hazy like the headlights do but didn't feel like cleaning them up since I was growing tired of them anyway.

If I remember right, the number from SuperBrightLEDs.com was 315x-x18-T but I would have to look at mine to be 100%.

Yeah man if your putting in aftermarket clear or smoked ones just bust the olds ones out. One of mine already had a crack in it so breaking it didn't bother me..
