| I've ordered the LEDs quite a few times and at times they may be slightly different. More now than before, they use super glue to hold them in and they have also changed the type of diode and resistor used with the LED. The writeup is still good for how you will need to install them except now you will probably end up seperating the internal components and have to resolder them. I always resolder all the components anyway because I just don't like the way in which they solder them. And to be even more anal about it, it looks like they use a low grade solder at that. The small LEDs will almost always break apart one way or the other. Meaning, sometimes even the LED itself will break and be useless. As the writeup states, you will have to use the OEM holders for the small LEDs and the large LEDs. The middle size (4mm) can still be used as a direct replacement but it is still a good idea to take them apart, check them and resolder them. Below is a picture of the old style which they used to sell when the writeup was done and the new style they seem to always provide now. As you can see in the picture, the type of components have changed. The good thing is that the new type of components are easier to work with. I have also recently updated the photos in the writeup to show which pins in the instrument pods you can use to test that the LEDs are working OK before you put everything back together. Of course you can always (and should) just plug them in and turn on the lights to check them before putting everything back together in the car. Still, you just can't beat the way they look once the modification has been made. Here are a couple of pictures of ones that I recently installed for someone.
 
Here is a picture of the two types of LEDs.
