I am assuming just an error in the listings, but I wanted to double check.

There's definitely an error in the ads. A couple of reasons come to mind: (1) 2004-2006 have a different plug harness than the pre-facelift models. (2) 2004-2006 have adaptive tailights, which turns brighter during a panic stop...something from this circuitry that causes LED bulbs to flicker.

These are the reasons why I haven't done the upgrade.

what I know is "my turn signals are not LEDs"
Maybe they developed a new one

Not really..

I asked if the led turn signal where bulb that could be replaced, and he answered: quote "the LED can not be replace "

Dodgy answer, but it sounds like its integrated lights..

I bought mine from him and turn signal uses normal bulbs

Odd. Hopefully I can get them to work on the 06, otherwise someone on here will be getting a good deal.

Hmmm..

I better get some shrome turn signal bulbs while im at it then...

What type is the rear turn signal bulbs on these.?

Essam Khafagi 05-01-2009 12:07 PM

7507 (orange) or 7506 (clear) depending on what bulb you have now

ekvals 05-01-2009 02:36 PM

Well, i have white turn signals, so i guess the bulb is white..

But what is the socket for the turn signal on the on the Sonar led lights.?

I guess thats what i need to use if i buy the new lights.

If you have orange corners on your lights then your bulb is clear, if you have clear corners on your lights then your bulb is orange. the socket for the turn signal on the sonar LED taillights is the same as the OEM ones.
