led switchbacks

So, I was looking for type 1 led switchbacks on vleds and I found this one. Will this fit my 03 tl-s? according to the size fitment chart on osram sylvania, the turn signal size is 1157 so I'm guessing since this one is 1157, it should fit? Let me know guys! Thanks.

socket wise, yes it will fit, more the issue is will they fit through the opening in the housing, and not be too tall to hit the lense (overall size)

also no linky, so do not know the exact ones you are talking about (there are different height ones)

You do realize you'll need to buy a resistor to prevent hyperblinking.

from my understanding, if you buy one set of these (meaning 2 actual resistors) you're set for the front blinkers. "One resistor is required for each turn signal bulb"
i don't think the rear will need them since youre only putting LEDs up front

Well actually, I plan on getting LED's for my rear turn signals, my reverse (back up) lights, and my parking lights.
