Hello need info

2013 Acura TL front turn signals are 3457a if I want to switch out the stock bulb to a LED am I going to need load resistors to stop hyper flashing or is it just plug in play. Thank you.

Yes. When changing any halogen bulb over to LED, you will need load resisters(except for interior lights ). It's because LEDs only require 6v, and Halogens obviously require 12v.

This post has a youtube link for rear signal lights. Love the LED's. I already got DRL and FOG DRLs.

For signal bulbs, go here:

2010 Acura TL Automotive Light Bulb Size Diagram

Front Turn Signal: Front Turn Signal Light Bulb Size: 1157A

You can google specs of the following bulb:

Putco 241157S-360 White/Amber 1157 Plasma Switchback LED Bulb

Putco 241157W-360 White

I am 'relatively' certain it should be plug and play. I think Putco brand is expensive but has 2 year warranty and this will only be my first winter them.

Are you talking about switchbacks or just regular amber LEDs? I have switchbacks and I know they needed resistors to stop hyperflash for sure. Im thinking regular amber LEDs will need them too. Even so they are not hard to install.
