Just wondering how you guys managed to fit the leds from the mfu kit into the PMD peterbilt double square headlights? Just looking at it has me scratching my head. :confused:

Do you have a milling machine or at the very least a Dremel and a vise? I had to mill mine out for my Bud truck. Kind of a tricky job without marring the polished surfaces. 1/8" endmill and a very slow and steady hand on the hand wheels did the job. I don't really want to try with a Dremel but it could be done with a carbide burr and a vise.
Hope this helps!

With some coaching from Rod (stepside) i did mine by drilling them out until the bulbs fit. Now, I used the 3mm bulbs not the 5mm. the 5's would be impossible.
good luck !

Thanks guys, now I know how, the prospect of fitting them leds is a little less daunting. Much appreciated.

I know I'm digging up an ancient topic but I finally fitted the leds in my pmd double squares Friday night. Brian, thanks man, I did just as you said and it worked perfectly! I'm really happy!
