Here is a general warning to you VX'ers about LED's. I had ordered some from http://www.superbrightleds.com/ . The ones I ordered don't fit, period. I wanted the brightest I could get. They offer a 30 LED tower, it won't fit into our socket holes. I also order the 921-12 (replacement for the 194) It will work, but it doesn't plug into the socket far enough to be a tight fit and road vibrations would vibrate them out of the sockets. Now I have to tear the front end off of my VX to remove the headlight so I can shake it out of the horn light area. This seems to be a very good site, lots of info on LED's, but before you order, measure what you got and compare it to their info pages for all of the LED's they offer. Am sure I won't have a problem sending the order back.

I also had issues with my first attempt at LED replacements. The brake lights I originally purchased did not fit into the housing (probably similar to yours), and the base of the front signal lights were too big to plug fully into the fixture.

But, once I followed Moncha's great LED review (http://vehicross.info/modules.php?name=Reviews&file=viewreview&id=4#top) my problems disapeared ...and autolumination.com let me return all the unuseable bulbs. :cool:
