it looks like they might, you may need to solder leads to them though

Dont get them, they will not fit with out modding the halo ring, you want a flat RGB LED like that one, lens has to be flat.

Doesn't someone they make a simple plug and play module that can change the color of the LED that doesn't require baking? I think I remembered seeing one a while back.

I'm a good handyman so why pay 350+ when I can pay less than 30...so no I'm not interested in the Nightowl, just want advice on the LED

The last ones look like they would work. What are you planning on controlling them with? Good luck.

The last eBay link is just for the circuit board. No LED.

Well you pay more for a quality LED, wire harness, plug and play install, better controller. killer control via a great App. just to name a few things. I let the experts do the work, they have a lot of time and money invested in their product and I will gladly pay for that. Now install, that's a different animal. I won't pay someone else to do that.

Except people have done the DIY method located on this forum and have had zero issues for years with the LEDs so clearly it is a reliable (though incomparable based on sample) and cheaper method up to this point. I would rather spend exorbitant amounts of money on future performance and suspensions mods instead.

Hold out till the am I will post some LEDS

Thanks Ofer, the DIY calls for LEDs that look like these http://m.ebay.com/itm/320938690780?nav=SEARCH

Except the ones that the forum users like CamaroLS posted have been unavailable from the seller for over a month now. I also already have 22 ohm 25 watt resistors as you had recommended to one of the users in the DIY guide.
