[QUOTE=EOE,Jun 4 2009, 09:04 AM] Will my blinkers go crazy if I just do the side markers with LEDS? Just interested if i'll be okay or will I need load resistor. I will keep the front turn signals bulbs.

I used to have LED's in the side markers and they blinked fine. I changed them back to incandescent bulbs because I didn't like the color the LED lit up. I'm not sure what brand it was though. I think I got them at Pep Boys or something.

- Turn Signals came out Awesome, Crisp and Bright. I am not having any super fast blinking issues. They blink a tid faster then the bulbs but it's so slow that it takes good 20 seconds of observing them to notice the overlap. Crisp blink of LED's ON/OFF function looks sharp for sure.

No one will notice but you. It is also time to go Clear Side Markers since brittle and aged plastic cracked on me when I took psgr side marker out.

- Running lights noticeably brighter and finally both work. Phew. These are some high quality LEDs they looked all fancy.

- I fixed dim license plate issue by taking out the bulb enclosure and filling it with aluminum foil so now there is a lot more light that is spread instead of spot like light that LEDs give out.

I changed them back to incandescent bulbs because I didn't like the color the LED lit up. I'm not sure what brand it was though.
I agree they are more yellowish then amber, I think it actually looks much better. That is the first thing that my friend pointed out. "The color looks better and more crisp" Maybe the difference is since you had the AutoZone LEDs it wasn't bright enough? With 12 LEDs on my bulbs it looks outstanding.
