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?

The resistor and flasher relay is for the modern cars that blink faster when a bulb burns out, or has the CANBUS/BCM that expects a certain resistance.
We already have the 'led spec' relay, that has a built in timer mechanism.

I got my bulbs off Amazon, about $15 a pair. Plenty bright and nicely made. The front turns don't match up with the filament location so the refection is off but I only noticed it with the clear lenses. I went back to amber so the whole lens glows like stock.

The other nice thing about led blinkers is the dash lights don't dim as much.
