I have standard bulbs in the back, so you'll be fine. I only have the LED in the turn/DRL and front side marker.

I am looking at the Triton kit and since the turn bulbs are top mounted does it fit snugly in the socket?? I have had a few LED bulbs that were too long and bottomed out on the housing before I could lock them in place....

Also is there enough room between the bottom of the headlight and the big heatsink on the back of the LED bulb?

I am looking into making a plug and play harness with the VLED wiring and using a Morimoto led for the turn signals. I should start ordering the supplies in a few weeks. I will try to take pics of how it looks and the wiring as well.

I switched my Honda EV to LED headlights,, to save some juice and make it look cool..
The over the winter found out a major shortcoming of them,, they don't get hot enough to
keep ice melted off in cold weather.. Not fun at 1:00 am on the freeway half way home..
And suddenly your driving by the parking lights..

Glad to know that but I live in Texas and hardly ever see snow or ice.

Yes they fit pretty snug. And they do fit easily. I can (and just did) remove them from the bottom of the car, so there is room to even pull them with the headlamp installed. I am referring to the V6 triton switchback in the front turn housing.

I am running vleds switchbacks for my drls/turns. Headlight were done by BL solutions. Quad demon eyes as well. My Fogs are vleds. Some in my album if seeing how they look

I had to cover the socket where the drls plug into the housings with some silicone. My first set went out from water I guess. Had second set for about 4 months now all good so far.

also update to electronic flashers and all this will work btw

I just installed the VLEDS triton v6 switchbacks with the controller and it all works like a charm (also put in new clear housings) and I am probably going to have to either silicone them up or put some weatherstripping above because the gap between headlight and bumper is big and water will just get right down on it...
