I will post up some pictures this weekend. Did you want to see pics from outside the car pointing at the headlights as the parking lights are turned on, or pictures of the the actual bulb itself seperate from the headlight? The latter would be more difficult as it is already installed.

Also a note on the install: I have never worked with LED bulbs before and so I was not aware the base on these bulbs differed from normal halogen bulbs. I don't know if all LED bulbs have a similar base, but here is a link to the bulbs I used (no affiliation):

There are two wires pertruding from the base of each bulb. To make them fit, I examined the bulb housing in my litronics, noting the two metal connection points, then bent the wires on the LED bulbs so when pushed into the litronic housings they touched the metal connection points. The bulbs do not "twist lock" in like the OEM halogen bulbs do. I literally "wedged" the bulbs into the housings and they have not fallen out since.

I carefully shook my litronics to see if the LED bulbs would loosen and fall out, but they did not. And again I have had them in for 2 weeks now with no problems.
