There are several posts on here about this already:

plus others.



But it looks like you aren't getting them, based on your fix. If you do, the hardest part is moving the one pin over to the correct contact, and getting whatever capacitor fix you want (lightwerkz vs DIY).

For those with clear lenses (sport package), installing Stealth bulbs will fix the "egg yoke" look in the rear, side and front indicator lights. Got all 6 bulbs from Stealth Auto for $90. Lifetime replacement if they fail, super bright and will not throw a code when installed.
