How do you change these ugly damn bulbs?

[dimitrinassis001]

So I put in my new PIAA EXTREME WHITE bulb and it looks pretty good. Better then stock but not anywhere close to HID. Then I noticed these little bulbs in the corners of my headlight. Does anyone know how to get to them cuz I wasn't paying attention I mean I didn't even notice them when changing out the headlight and do you know of any cool LED lights to replace them with? The stock little lights are damn ugly.

Dont know about cool LED lights you can use, but the bulbs are just plugged into the back of the headlight housing. You can just pull them out. One on each side. You should have seen them when your were changing your H4 bulb.

Hard to tell from this cell phone photo but I am running the "warm white" LED's from Miniature Wedge Base Bulbs - Super Bright LEDs. I'm running 4.3k HID bulbs and the warm white is the closest color to that, but for a PIAA extreme white bulb I'd say the "Cool White" is the closest match. WLED x5 is the model bulb I have installed on many cars and a few HYM's that I've done HID retrofits for.

And tkl999 is right, the "socket" for the bulb is above the main 9003/h4 bulb on the top on either side. The socket itself is a rubber design and just need a gentle pry to free them from the housing.

Did you install a 32 degree or 90 degree angle bulb?

The wled-x5 is a 220 degree. I am not sure how the 32 or 90 would look in the headlight housing. For sure the 220 is much brighter than oem incandescent bulbs.

Thanks for the link. Im even considering the 360 degree smd led (WLED-xHP5). I dont have much experience with this stuff so you see anything wrong if i go with that?

I've been buying misc LED's for years from that website and have had great results. Even if there was an issue they were very quick to resolve the issue and get replacements to me fairly quick.

Be sure to post up pics of the 360 version, I was going to get those but since I already have used the 220's and knew they worked well I just decided to stick with them.

I replaced my parking lights with some green LEDs and I like the way it looks.
