So I just got some LEDs installed. Only reason I wanted to share this is the day time running lights or I dunno what do you call them. I had that orange bulb removed and replaced with white LEDs, it looks SOO much cleaner I recommend it to all 2010+ models. I pretty much deleted the day time running lights but they still work as left/right signals.

crappy cellphone vid but you get the idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSpcvpzBCEo

a friend of mine does LED work. He installed them for me when I met him at Eurofest car show. But I can find out for you what exactly are they/where to buy them.

Is your friend going to hook you up with some resistors to stop that hyper flashing?

hmm I haven't thought about that! I might get it, the hyper flashing doesn't bother me.

No turns aren't 194. 194 is usually an interior light like the courtesy or dome. Turns on the 08 are 3457NAK in the users manual and 3157 fits nicely.

Check out www.v-leds.com for all your led needs. :)

I have a 2012 coupe and I tried putting in some chrome turn signals. I used size 3157 and there was NO way they were fitting! I checked the owners manual and it did indeed say it was 3157 but it is wrong. I know this because i changed my stock hids and the manual said my bulb size was d2r. When I poped it out it was a d2s. Anyone have any idea what size the turn signals could be?

i have a 2012, but i'm assuming they are the same for the 2011. from sylvania the turn signals are 2827. and the 2825 are the yellow sidemarker bar. I searched on google to find the equivalent led bulb and found they were 194's. i guess i did a bad search. I'll have to grab my owners manual and check to see what that are.
