Default LED turns

I went with LED bulbs in my rear turns this week. I didn't do anything other than plug in two red LED 1156s!! They went in nicely and look perfect. Much better red color than the incandescents I had in there before. With smoked covers, the regular red bulbs looked orange. Anyone looking to upgrade to LEDs, be advised I didn't need the load equalizers... some people say they are necessary and some say they aren't but it worked on mine without. They are plenty bright too! In the front, I still have the Silverstar chrome/amber bulbs. Going to all 4 LEDs might require those equalizers(?)

I love the smoked out look she has now...

Probably because you have incan's in the front. I just took my LEDS out of the rear because 4 of the bulbs went out. I have LEDS front and rear, and the fast blinking went away.
