LED parking light/blinker
I am looking to swap out the stock parking/blinker light for an LED's style.
Shows it's a 7443, and also seems not all work as a blinker, just a steady on light.
Then need to add resistor.. any just plug and play?
Anyone have a good link for a bright amber parking/blinker that won't break bank!
Also I want bright but not annoying bright!
Thanks,

I used to buy VLED's LED bulbs but they started getting expensive, so on a whim I tried DDM's 1157 switchback LED bulbs for my front turn signal/parking light and I'm happy with them. If you just buy the right bulb type it will perform the same function as your stock filament bulb.
But since LED's draw less power than your stock bulbs, you will get hyper flashing because the car thinks a light is out. To counter that you can use load resistors but if it's an option, swapping the flasher unit is preferred.
I'd recommend LED bulbs from VLEDS, SuperbrightLEDs, or DDM. Be careful with Ebay bulbs.

For the front turn signals, you want a LED that is bright as possible.
The problem with LEDs is that they appear dim in direct sunlight.
