You'll need a resistor to be wired in-line at each flasher, or you can replace your flasher relay.

I just ordered a CF-19 flasher relay. It replaces the OEM flasher located in the fuse panel under the driver's side dash. The new flasher relay works with incandescent and LED bulbs (or any combination of the two) and maintains stock flashing speed and lock/unlock flashes. Read about it here:

hm thats why i bought those type of lp lights. so it shoots in all directions, emitting more light.

and i cant stand slow blinkers, i like them fast, so buying new led blinkers was a must!!

That's a sexy deck. Whats the brand and model number? Does it work with the steering wheel controls? Any flaws or quirks?

Ya it works with steering controls its the alpine premium audio from the dealership. It's not bad just tC setting causes passenger 6x9 to basically quit so u have to use a diff car setting. Background isn't animated and only comes with a light/dark amber/blue setting. Wishing it had a red to go along with wut I plan to do with the interior

Ordered LEDs for interior lights and license plate. Shortly after clicking the purchase button, I thought about looking up how bright the stock bulbs are. Yeah... From what I could find, OEM bulbs each put out about 35 lumens. LEDs I bought are each supposed to put out 100-120 lumens.

Oops.

Yeahhh buddy. Which ones did you order?

I ordered these for the plates and they kill it. Perfect for that application since all of the LEDs face directly down.

Edit with crappy cell phone shots...the second is an effort to show how much they light up the ground.

I know, right? Depending on just how bright they are, I may have to switch it up and go with something a bit dimmer...

Anyway, I bought them all from 3BSpec.com

turn signals front and rear are 7440 (same for the reverse light)
and as far as the mirrors go. is not as easy as just replacing a bulb. much more complicating. so if anyone can find one with a white light. let me know!!!!

the manual says that the mirror lights are LEDS that should be replaced at the dealership only

Resisting the urge to point you to your owners manual...

Pop off the cover from behind each tail light with a flat head screwdriver to expose the backs of the lights. Then twist and pop out.
