These are the lights I ordered, no reviews on Amazon, so I may be taking a risk. At $35 a light it's a low cost risk and will give me an idea on how this project will go.
Even if they don't work as well as they should they will make good auxiliary reverse lights
Why not try a set of these? They would probably work better with the 01-03 valence.

We'll see how these work since I already ordered them. Those look like they will work nicely.
I don't like the price tag, but they may be a much better quality than the ones i ordered.
The Rigid's will look great too.

Why go to LEDs over hid's ? It's gunna be hard to get brighter than a 55watt hid ..
Main reason is not to blind oncoming traffic. The correct led projects the light onto the road way not at other drivers. I was running 55w 3000k hid bulbs in modified stock fogs with a cut off shield that worked well but still blinding. The LEDs are just as bright and use less than half the wattage. They also are stand alone and Don't require a wiring harness or ballasts.

I'm not a 100% sure but this looks like them http://www.theretrofitsource.com/clo...l#.UxeITim9LCQ I like the price that's cheap for everything
What did you do for a install and did you have to modify anything for the plug in part? How do you order from there I don't see how to add something to cart ill order a set for that price
For the wiring I just built an h11 jumper so it's plug n play
Hey I emailed them and ordered mine they updated the quantity if you want some I would order them now just the led bulbs cost more than the set at the price of 60 a pair this is a really good deal !! Thanks mike

So I need to order female plugs from them ? Or I can get everything from an autoparts store
Insert evil laugh here....
I would, I have not found a local source for the female end.
