thanks, mainly I want the 7440s for the front, but might get the 7443s for the rear.

I want to smoke my rear lenses, so maybe I should get led's for back there though

I think 7440 and 7443 are interchangeable.

DON'T DO IT!!!! i got those exact bulbs from the same seller. they look nice, but they burn too high. the top part of my headlight is no longer chrome, but rather kinda dull silverish. the bulbs that this guy is selling is generic, i know that APC also makes these type of bulbs, so maybe you can try them out.

as far as LEDs are concerned, they weren't as bright as stock, probably becauce the light emitted from the LED bulb didn't hit the reflectors.
hope this helps.

I just got some clear GE brand 7440s from Wal-Mart for front and rear and they work fine so far.

Thanks, I bought some other ones on ebay once and they were just spray painted, don't want to get screwed again.
