Can someone tell me how to unsolder LEDs? I heard to solder on red LEDS upside-down, is that right?? Just wanted to make sure, cause I dont want to mess up anything electrical in my car.... If anyone in socal is willing to help me out with the install i'll gladly buy him/her lunch, anyone would install them better then me, cause knowing me, i'd screw something up.

unsolder is just like soldering. just touch the tip of the soldering iron to the solder holding the LED on. it will liquify, repeat until LED is free.
i dont know about the upside down red.

I don't know what the hell an upside down red led is.
All surface mount leds are soldered onto the board the same way.
Apply the iron to the solder and liquify it, and lift while the iron is still applied.

I soldered all mine on upside down like I was told and it was wrong. I had to take them all off and put them on in the same direction as the stock leds. Mine are red also. I got them from RJ. Once you do one the rest will be easy. Good luck.

sorry about the reds... they used to be like that, but my supplier changed that and didn't tell me
they all now go on in the same direction as stock
