LOL yes they are a bit of a pain to install but they ARE plug and play and are still easier than soldering in some regular LED's and resistors. and the color's better than regular incandescant bulbs. for anyone who's planning on swapping your bulbs - the stock bulbs are iside of a holster. it's the black plastic piece that you twist when removing the bulb. the part that comes out of the holster is jsut the glass bulb itself. you need to keep that black holster and stick the replacement LED's inside. kinda hard to explain but you'll see when you take out the bulbs.

also BE SURE TO CHECK POLARITY. led's are biased and will NOT WORK if they are installed backwards. this is not a problem with regular bulbs so there aren't really any markings on the holder thingies. either trace the lines on the backing of the cluster to find your ground and +12v OR just go through trial and error. if you plug it in and it doesn't turn on like it should - it's backwards.
