New Smoked DRLs and Side Markers!
So my girlfriend is awesome. She purchased a pair of smoked DRL housings and smoked side marker housings (See link) to replace my 91 RS's atrocious original ones (bleh!) so naturally I want new bulbs to accent them. I want LED ones, as they are better in lifetime, less heat to wear the housing, less draw, higher light output, its a win win all over. Any recommendations as to the best bulbs? Thanks all!

Idk about the bulbs but do yourself a favor and RTV seal those things before you install. I got condensation in mine and they fog up and destroyed the reflective back in one of them...

I was looking at those. I didn't like the fact they don't have the diffuser inside. Going to spring for the Depo factory looking ones.

How would I go about this? i get to run some around the edges of the lenses but what about the hole for the mount on the bottom? that leads straight into it.

Not so sure this is a good idea. The holes are there to prevent condensation more than allow it. Have you ever seen a double pane window that had a failed seal in it? The changes in atmospheric pressure allow the moisture in and it never leaves. If you can seal it up absolutely air tight (which you can't) it would be fine. But sealing up the vent hole will make the problem worse not better.
