OK man.. You are pretty thorough so you sold me! I've even considered putting stock tails back on with a pair of these on each side..two 921 bulbs with this set up probably look really good..but I live my avest tails at night

As I mentioned above, probably so but the bulbs are 921 not 7440 and each lens has two bulbs for turn signals. You would need 3 orders. 1 set 7440 amber for front signals and 2 sets of 921 in white/clear for rear signals

Thanks for the Info. I tried Carid's Lumen series Plasma Bulbs, with seperate resistors, with no luck. Hopefully these will do the trick.

Been looking to adding LED's, but just worried they would'nt fit or they would need a resistor. Thanks for the suggestion. They look good!

Do you get 2 LED's for $36.79?

I ask because in the details it says "1 x 5W CREE LED".

Yes, you get two (set), as per the item description:
"This page features one set Error Free No Resistor Required CREE High Power 7440 LED Bulbs w/ Plug-N-Play cancellers, exclusively designed for front turn signal lights or rear turn signal lights ONLY ."

Will these bulbs work in a LS600hL? Also can you just swap in a LED flasher in the LS's to eliminate the hyper blinking? That's the route I went in my ISF and I have a lot of extra LED bulbs I could use for my LSh and just get a LED flasher.

I received my LED's today and will install tomorrow, pretty straight forward like the LED DRL install.

Take care when installing the harness and resistor into the housing itself as I just kinda stuffed it in wrong as it were and I got an ASF display window when embarking on my roadtrip.... and had to correct that before I left. Three days later they haven't given me any problem.
