Does anyone make LED bulbs to replace the standard bulbs in blinkers and tail lights?

If you can figure out what bulbs you need you can find what you are looking for at http://www.superbrightleds.com/

That's the first hit on a google search.

If your are bent on getting led turn signals I have some amber 1156 bulbs I'll sell you for half what superbrite sells them for. ( bought them at superbrite)

The LED 1156 replacement bulbs do not flash as bright as regular incandescent bulbs. A number of guys including me havent been happy with them. IMO they aren't worth the cost.

Secondly you have to change your flasher relay to handle the lower amp draw the LEDs produce, otherwise you'll have hyper blinking lights. Again if you go this route the flasher is in a tough spot near the steering column behind the dash...and it doesn't come out willingly.

^^ agreed

I did LED's all the way around my 91, and it totally wasn't worth it...

it actually worried me when driving during the daytime, because the LED brake lights are hard to see in the sunlight...


I opted for extra lighting to ease my mind
