There's no bulb. It's LED circuitry.

Well, not quite a DIY, unless you're REAL handy with electronics. I would PM member nomis_nehc for questions, he's pretty good at this. As I recall, you have to open the headlight up to get to the LED's.

Since you are in the New York area, you should contact Eugene134 as he was the originator of this mod.

Thanks everyone. Only one side was out so i figured might as well just unplug the other side. I kinda liked it better minus the orange due to the fact my fogs and hid angel eyes match. I was ready to do the white led conversion and noticed last nite for some reason it started working again so there goes my excuse for having to do that. Funniest part is im leaving them un-hooked!.....

you can always get your car coded to disable the other eyebrow that is currently working to match if you like the look of the eyebrows off...

I actually would recommend to just unplug them and maybe wrap them with electrical tape. That way, you can plug them in any time and not limited to having access to computer and the cable. The car doesn't check for the eyebrows, so there will be no error.
