Saw this on youtube and thought it looked good so I thought I'd share.

Sorry if this has already been posted. I want to convert my lights to LED's in the rear especially to get rid of the yellow from the blinkers, plus I think they go better with the stock LED brake lights. If anyone has done this please feel free to leave any comments on difficulty, install, parts, etc that may help myself or others in the conversion process. Thanks

I got LEDs for my front and rear turn signals.

Here's the thing, I just bought the clear LED bulbs. The front looks really good because the headlight is all white. You can get the bulbs at those small car stores in the mall.

Difficulty: 1. (just got to change the bulbs)Parts: I paid $20.00 a pair. That's $40.00 total. That website on youtube changes the whole housing for $700.00.

Note: It's a little hard to see the front turn signals blinking when the sun is hitting them directly.AND tour turn signals will blink really fast with these LED bulbs.

I read somewhere and have been told that when changing the blinker lights that you need to get a blinker relay or something like that to keep them from "hyperblinking."

In some cases when people have upgraded to aftermarket LED signals they would blink to speeds similar to strobe light, and as powerful an illuminated LED is, one that blinks mega fast like that can tend to disorientate other drivers.

Blinker fluid works well too.
