my advice is to search "led" in this forum.

I'm a newbie but from what I've learned.

Switching DRLS to led means you have no high beams. And it's a pain in the ***. and costs about 70 bucks.

Switching turn signals to LED ends up being expensive and complicated....much more so than my camaro was.

In the end. I'm switching the city lights, puddle lights and all interior lights to LED.

Brociouz's ultimate lighting guide. Not the cheapest, but the brightest. All V Led's.

You need a 7440 bulb (or LED equivalent with resistors to prevent hyperblinking). You can get the 7440 bulbs pretty much anywhere (Kragen's, Pep Boys, eBay, etc.).

Keep in mind that non-amber front turn signals are illegal in many states. Not sure what the case is in NY. Plus, you have to remove your whole front bumper to change the turn signals out.
