I honestly can't remember it's an 1157 or 1156. I got it on ebay from a company called v-leds or something it's one of the first mods I did in the car (Feb 08) sorry I don't remember.

Thanks I didn't make a how to, but believe me it's easy just take your time. Bake at 200 degrees for 24 minutes (do one at a time, the lights are huge and you'll proably be able to fit one in the oven at a time anyways), take out and open with a screw driver from a corner and then finish up with both hands. The painting is self explanatory. Repeat process to seal them up when you're done. I used silicone around the housing just to make sure I don't get condensation in the housing

PM me if you have any specific questions.

No. Everything went in the oven, bulbs and everything. My headlights are also clear bra-ed and they didn't get damaged at all.

It plugs right in. I'm in the process of changing them for some better ones, so I have to take one out and see if it has one terminal on the bottom or two. If it has one then it's 1156 if it has 2 then it is 1157. I'll post that later on today I'm at work right now.
