Ive read on many different forums that this can be done, but with little to know detail, i ordered some LED fogs a week or so ago after a "couple" drinks, thinking i had ordered 9145/H10 ended uo getting 9005, they seemed to fit whenn i slipped them in, they evened "clicked" but no light. I had them hooked uo to an alternative power source and they fired right up so i know the bulbs are good, but just couldnt get them to either fit correctly or somethung im unaware of...so any pics/walk through woukd be great...

these are really good , amd if you notice on the description it says it fits 9005 , h10 , 9145 , so its weird that yours doesnt work

I got the 9005 to fit i grinded about 1/16" off the light housing and it went on more snug...will do for now, but theyre too blue...was goin for a more white to match the factory HIDs but for $6 bucks for the pair, what can i really b!tch about.

SMDs LEDs are bad , I have always bought ones that are listed with wattage they produce such as 5 watts, 11 watts and now 80 watts , they were all bright and were a white white color , prices range from 15 to 40 dollars
What do you mean "bad" as in quality, longevity, destroy "hardware"? I knew for the price not to get my expectations too high...for the ones with the listed wattage...is it brighter for more wattage type of thing?

bad in brightness and hardware, usually the small little leds start to go out one by one, and for the watts one here are some examples:
pic one is my old 11 watt on the right and new 80 watt on the left
pic two is are examples of both a 20 watt led in the fogs on the left and 80 on the right
pic three are the 80 watt bulbs
pic 4 are my old 11 watt leds in the high beams, they look like HIDS , I currently have 80 watts in the high beam now and are a lot brighter

I checked these out Ghost_Ls8 and the site said my car wasn't compatiable, could it be because mine is a Gen1?

I have 9005 for the high beams, when I checked compatibility for 02 LS it said no, when I rechecked for 03 it said yes. I would like them for the high beams but I don't want to cause problems where there isn't any.
