Follow the directions closely, and you'll be fine, lots of people have problems cause they dont do this. Get the ebay ones, and I guarentee they will last for the standard 4watt bulb length which is like 15 years. Make sure you keep the rubber cups on the back of the taillights to keep the bulbs dry, and make sure to follow the directions and seal the housing with silicon. I have had the cheap ebay ones for like a year and they work fine. And with the 4 watt LEDs you dont have to worry about them draining the battery if you forget about them, I have left them on all nigth, and been fine in the morning. Also: DONT DO AN HID CONVERSION IF YOU DONT UPGRADE THE LENSE, AND HEAT COAT THE HOUSING! I DID THAT AND IT MELTED THE WHOLE SETUP. This time, I heat coated the housing, and got the Hi-heat lense, and my 8500K HID conversion doesnt hurt at all.

That is not entirely true about the halos. I did all the above an was really careful. And after all, many people here know Im not an idiot when it comes to handling and wiring. The halos I had were definetly some cheap crap. If anybody wants em, theyll fit a 96-98 beautifully, but you gotta fix the halos and replace the main bulbs.
