I went ahead and ordered THIS and it seems 100% compatible.

Yes, those look correct.

Post up if you have trouble getting them in; it's a tight fit and you'll be much better off if you do it with the headlights out. I cant imagine trying to do it with the headlights still in the car.

Yup, those are for the LCIs.

BossCatDesigns does DOPE work! I just wish they were local in MN so I could do it...

not to be a jerk or anything, but I am giving you a fair warning, that they almost never turn out like the do in the pictures with these replacement bulbs until you go with the orion rings..... so just helping you out with expectations.

ive been through a few sets of different bulbs... if i could i would go with bossCat...

And you were incredibly right.

These bulbs I ordered are barely visible.. even at night. You can't see them when my headlights are on at all. It's incredibly amazing and odd.

I want something so bright its visible during the day, how much will that cost me? Where can I purchase Orions?

Yah, those plug and play bulbs are never as it looks in the advertised pictures. It always appear brighter in pics because of how camera functions (captures light), so the brightness is never accurate.

You can purchase Orions through me. Feel free to message me with questions.

If you want something that is plug and play, it's worth it to go with our VXX, they are brighter than the current Mtec V3 or V4.

If you want something truly amazing, get the Orion V2 or V4 and have someone do the work for you.
