I finally bit the bullet last week! I upgraded the yellow/amber eyebrow to WHITE! One of the better mods I have done and gave the car a new look. I just want to say special thanks to nomis_nehc, nigxdoof, and skeeter for their words of wisdom. And of course, the GodFather of the mod, Eugene134 . I actually took the board to a local electronic shop to make the swap for me. They had it back to me a in a few hours and worked out perfectly! Hope the pics came out okay since they were from my iPhone. Ohh yea, might be the first one in Canada to do this. I guess if your in Canada, chime in and lets see yours!

Nice! Glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting the LEDs from? And I take it that the sealing process was smooth?

Sealing process went really smooth, thanks again for the help! I actually got the LED'a from eBay. Had them for months sitting around the house and just finally did it. Had to go buy them on eBay since I don't have Radioshack here.

You got the LEDS from ebay?! Oh nooooo!!!!! Those EBAY Superflux LEDS blow out within a few days! Oh crap, the only reliable LEDS for this is the ones from Radioshack.
