Hey do you guys know what is the best led to use for the esky (or any other for that matter) mirrors?
Also if it's an easy or pita install?

I know it's a 168 bulb but there are so many darn variations of leds.

Really? I use the 5 SMD-LED 194 type bulbs for the license plates/puddle lamps on mirrors.

But so many choices: http://autolumination.com/194.htm which one is the brightest for that kinda housing?

I bought the 9 SMD LED ones and they didn't fit the housing. I bought the 5 SMD LED one's and they fit perfect. Make sure you don't get more then 5 because then it won't fit.

I used some similar to this (this one's got 4 though): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T10-...ccessories&hash=item19c487e086#ht_3543wt_1165

SUPER easy. Timmygun won't have to make a thread for this install

So I just use a hammer and a saw?

Nope you just take a flathead screw driver and pry it open away from the car and the little housing pops out. then you take the original incandescent bulb by twisting it counter clockwise. Pop out the original and put the new SMD LED bulb in. Press unlock on key fob and see if it turns on. If it doesn't, switch it around and it should work.
