get any of those load equalizers...

and i would keep the stock incandesant 7440's and 7443's

led "bulbs" for turns and taillight stuff just aren't good.

you would need to actually retrofit and build something yourself to make something bright enough.

replacement led "bulbs" have resistors built in.. it's plug and play.... but the lighting will suck. that's why i don't recommend them

unless it's like your dome lights, and license plate lights.. parking lights (if they can withstand the heat).. cubby hole light.. etc..

turnsignals, taillights stuff?... no.

You could just 'plug n play', but then you get the hyper 'ricer-civic' look. Hence why he needs load equilizers. BTW-You'll need some for the tails if you swap those out also.
