Default LED taillight installlations...

Im thinking of replacing my regular taillights with LED lights like those from eBay... ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-94...Q5fAccessories )

Unfortunately, Im not very skilled in mechanics and even though they claim they are direct bolt on parts, Im considering getting it done by someone else. I was wondering if the fact they are LED might be a problem, cuz its not as simple as if you just remove the tailight there and change the light bulb for example. Im wondering if there might be some electrical wires/plugs to play around with...

Does anyone know where I can get this done for example and how much should it cost? I appreciate any piece of advice.

ThX

Do it yourself. Remove the old ones, plug the new ones in. It's about the easiest thing you can do. There's some plastic wing nuts behind the carpet that you spin off to take the lights out.

Hmmm, that does indeed sound really easy. I was able to do it myself on my Explorer, but it seemed more obvious where to start with. (a bunch of screws to... unscrew!)

Anyways since you seem to say that if I just peak under the carpet, I should see plastic wing nuts that I can remove, I will definitely give it a shot.

Thanks a lot, I hope it works.

Before you buy these, email them and make sure they are setup for the 93-97 cars. I bought the same set of these that said they were for 93-97 cars and they were for 98-02 cars, which I had to get a rear wirering harness for the later cars. I haven't hooked these up yet, don't know if the harness just plugs into where the old one does, or if I will have to soder the sockets to my harness. But it will cause you some headaches if they are not set up for the 93-97 cars. After I got mine, the people I bought them from said that they didn't make them for the 93-97 cars anymore. It wasn't the same seller as those you posted, but as the title has 98-02 in it, I would check with them before you buy.
