Just about ready to attempt the eyebrow upgrade, to bright white, anyone know where I can get the correct LEDs to fit the lights, and will I need to include any in-line resistors to prevent idrive errors? Cheers

The best, correct way, to match OEM specs, is to get the LEDS from Radioshack. They last super long and dont blow out like some cheap stuff from china on Ebay.

Do you know any part numbers off hand from radioshack for those LEDs? Are there any detailed DIYs for this project on here?

Do note though, that Radio Shack's quality control really sucks, and you will have to buy a lot more LEDs just to be on the safe side to get white ones. (over half of the ones I had purchased turned out to be yellowish-white) Ended up buying 35 LEDs just to get 10 white ones.
