Tried to swap out the crappy halogen turn signal bulbs for some LEDs. The left side went swimmingly, the right side; not so much... Half the tab on the socket sheared off. I'm afraid if I go any further the whole tab will shear off and I'll be screwed. So I have an LED on the driver's side and the halogen on the passenger side. To finish the job I will have to remove the wheel and do whatever it takes to get that sucker out of there. I have a new socket on order that should arrive Tuesday. For the life of me I can't figure out why the tab sheared; though I had to use pliers to turn the socket. I did grab the socket in the middle...

Here's a pic of the left side. No more ugly egg yolk! Whoops!!!! This is what I purchased.
