So i need some help. i bought a set of yellow/orange LEDs for my GP and want to know the easiest way to install them and what i need to do. I recently had my left assembly stolen off my car, with the bulbs still attatched to my wires. i want to install the LEDs just in case it happens again so i at least have a blinker in the front of my vehicle. Any ideas?
 


You just mean the turn signals/running lights correct? Get some 3157 LED's (I got mine from Diode Dynamics, pricier but comes with quality and customer support) and plug them in, and then wire a 50 watt, 6 ohm resistor across the turn signal wire and ground wire of the turn signal harness. The resistor is there to trick the car into thinking a normal bulb is installed so it doesn't blink super fast or give you a "bulb out" warning.

If you have the cash, get some switchback LED's. I've got some, so my turn signals/running lights stay lit up white while driving, but blink amber colored when you use your turn signals or hazards. I personally think it looks nice, and can allow you to get rid of those nasty yellow running lights without getting pulled over for white turn signals.
 
how much are those switchback LED's? that would be awesome to put on my car. and how would you install those?
