Has anyone replaced their stop light/turn signal/back up light bulbs with Led bulbs? How do they look? Did you have to add a resistor or modify the flasher?

So what is a preferred source for the variety of bulbs required for such a lighting upgrade?

I buy mine from SuperBrightLEDs.com. They have a great tool that will list all the bulbs for a particular vehicle. The only one that was off for me was the interior courtesy light on the rear pad. The one they speced was just a tad too long for the aftermarket fixture most commonly sold. I had to exchange for a bulb a few mm shorter.

Could you indicate which would be the bulb for the aftermarket fixture and a replacement for the original fixture?
Thanks

I can't believe I was able to find my receipt so easily! Here's the bulb that worked for me: https://www.superbrightleds.com/3710-led-bu...olor-Warm~3300K and the interior fixture is the empi that is sold everywhere. I bought mine from 914Rubber: https://914rubber.com/interior-light-1. The online bulb tool specifies a 44mm bulb which is too long.
