Replaced the oem bulb with the led bulb purchased as above from amazon. they are way brighter as shown in the pic. Note that you will have to gently pry the bulb out unless you have very skinny and sticky fingers. It's easy to insert the new bulb on the side of instead of directly into the contacts so if your new bulb doesnt work this is likely the reason. Thanks to the previous posters for their help on this one.

OK, I didn't have a clue about these cars maybe having CANBUS circuitry. The ones at which I have looked appear to be standard 194 tungsten bulbs... To get LEDs for my 2003 I went by the bulb list in the owner's manual and still have half a dozen LED bulbs to so something with. The marker lights have been installed and except for the front ones staying dimly lighted for awhile when shut down, they're doing fine. Our temps are down around zero and I am waiting for a bit of warmth to tackle the others. Will non CANBUS bulbs work at all, or will they completely fold up the electrics?you need to use the CANBUS error free LED bulbs like this - https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_...teid=0&campid=5338236430&toolid=20008&mkevt=1
