did you have to get any special wiring or was it just plug and play? Do they need the 150 or 180 offset? My any chance do you have a link to the bulbs you got?

I had a hard time finding red turn bulbs. I took the oem bulbs and use wool steel to removed the amber... made them clear. Then took some red spray paint and put the light coat. Works just fine.
