Which bulb are you looking to replace with LEDs?

If you have ecodes, then replacing the city light bulb with an LED is common

Here are some pics

Similar to those pics posted. I don't want to replace any bulbs, just add the LEDs. I've seen kits by StreetGlow. I just didn't know what they looked like. I think it'd be a cool look during an overcast day or close to dusk.

I wouldn't want to take the potential risk of destroying my headlight housing to install a LED light on OEM 1 piece.

I am going to get flammed for this but I'd rather have a set of angel eyes than a little LED light.

If you start drilling into the reflectors on your stock housings to install an LED chances are youll screw it up and scratch and chip the crap out of the reflective surface in the headlight. Once that starts chipping and peeling you're pretty much done, you need to replace it since the integrity of your light beam will also be screwed up as a direct result
