Default LEDS/Light bulbs Question

Hey guys and gals, I was curious if anyone could recommend some LEDS or high quality lights you use for the brake lights(7443) and front(7440) & rear turn signals. I have garage1217's leds for the dome and license plate but i've read some LEDS should not be used in the housing lamps. I've looked at superbrightleds.com and some others. Any other links would be helpful. Also, is their a particular bulb/LED that looks good for the parking/accent(168/194) light? Thanks!

This has been talked about before, use the search feature. As far as where to get them, stick with superbrightleds.

be careful buying led bulbs for tails...they sometimes are not as bright as stock and as far as the turns, any ones you want really but you will need to get resistors for them so they dont hyper blink

More like sometimes they do not APPEAR as bright since people don't get the proper LED that actually can use the reflectors in the housing. If you get an LED that utilizes the reflectors in the brake light housing, they are just as bright or brighter.

LED specific Flasher Relay also does the job to fix hyper blinker.
