Yeah that was me heres the link Super Bright LEDs - Miniature Wedge Base Bulbs
they are the WLED-X-x ones. I have the color (cool white) and like them pretty well. I got the blue ones at first but took them out and ordered the white ones cause the blue was definitely illegal. Hope this helped.

Hm, guess they were a dark blue? The ones in my Gen 2s glow bright light blue.

Oh, ****, yeah they were dark. Just like cop lights. Should have wired a strobe controller with a switch up to them, LOL! Scare the hell out of people.

haha yeah i wasnt expecting them to look like that. lol the cops around here would be pulling me over in no time if i kept them in. I could have wired a strobe controller and when they pulled me over have on little kids police officer stuff that you can buy at walmart like the one with the weird hat and fake badge and vest.

you just take your headlight out, pull out the led plugs, pull the led bulb out and put the new one in, push the plugs back into the holes. Easiest thing ever.
