thinkin bout changing my lights to some LED bulbs i saw at autozone. i spotted the ones to replace the front turn signals and that gave me the idea to change all of them, front signals, rear signals, tails/brakes, reverse. any that i can find really. just wanted to hear some opinions before i spend money.

I changed my license plate light to LEDs tonight, they look sweet and are super bright.

Don't use the eBay ones, they are garbage. Go here:

www.superbrightleds.com

The Autozone ones are dim and don't last long.

Thanks Matt. I've seen that site before, but wasn't sure if it was trustworthy or not. Have you used anything from there or know anyone who has? And the site says I should use a flasher instead of load resistors, but I'm not sure how or where they would hook up. Any info on that part?

EDIT: those do seem to be better quality.

I've had a pair of them on my old car and they were great. I've also got a pair on the way for my P5 license plate lights, I'll let you know how those turn out.

I have used v-leds.com after I saw a few complaints about superbrightleds. I have had them for 6 months, zero problems!

Thanks for the info guys. Some of the first paycheck will probably go to the lights and whatever else I need to make them work. Once I get them (not for a while though) I'll post some pics and let you all know how it goes.

I've installed LEDs in front for the turn signals and they blink really fast though. I got some resisters now and am trying to find out which wires to connect them to. Any ideas?
