Ebay matey. Wire up to side for White LEDs, or connect to indicators if Amber LEDs, then some double sided sticky tape! JD!

remember electrical safety, use a small value quick blow fuse if fitting these.....
to what rating? got a link?
150mA quick blow fuse.
Either 20mm or 30mm, whatever size inline fuse holder you can get.
You can get them from Maplins, or CPC, somewhere like that.

Theres abit of a downside though... id only recommend them to someone that has a hell of alot of patience because for starters they were a
to fit and then ontop of that they failed the MOT because they dipped up towards the wrong side of the road with them being from america, never actually thought about that when i bought em because it said nothing about it in the UK ad...but i just turned the projector lenses around and now its all good

They will do that cause in America they point forwards and in europe and uk they point to the side. and the IS300 wings are slightly different so thats why they didnt fit easily.

Just get an inline fuse holder, most hold 20 or 30mm fuses, then put a 150ma quick blow fuse in it. And just cut the positive wire to the LED's and put that in the middle.
