Do you want LEDs? The bulbs i have now are LEDs, 45 LEDs in each bulb. They flash amber but when turned off they are clear. Let me know and i will send you the eBay link

I do have to warn you, you have to be careful when putting them in. If you twist the bulbs too much they will not work properly and may turn out dim/yelloish. Me and my friend have the same bulbs but he was in a rush when installing his last one and i guess he twisted the bulb too much so now one side is a dim yellow color and the other is a deep amber like it should be.

Oh yeah, they are plug n play

Is this an easy install? Is there a diy for taking out the headlights? I want white turns as well, but I'm not sure if I should get LEDs cuz that might be a little too bright for turns...

Not sure if there is a DIY but this is easy. You access all the lights through the inner fender covers. Juts pop the plugs off and pull the plastic back and there they are.

found a site here, http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=CAR, its $15 for a 30 led bulb....haven't ordered from them though.

Can you really just plug and play LEDs in the brake and turn signal lights without a resistor??? I was looking to do this, but didn't feel like bothering with resistors.

any of those 1157 that have the right diameter will work.....(if the bulb is too wide it won't fit through the hole for the bulb).....i remember something about that once you switch to the led buld you lose the turn signal....the runing lights work but the turn signal doesn't....i'm not sure pm swide09 and see if its true....

You can go to your local auto part store that sell Apc product an get there Titanium 1157 amber bulbs. They are only $4.99 each. They work great an they have been on my car for past 2 year.
