Exclamation Need to change my front and rear turn signal bulbs

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone has changed their front or rear turn signal bulbs with LED's. I own a '11 LS and the look of the bulbs is killing me. I need to change the front and rear ones into LED turn signals. If anyone has changed these, please let me know which LED's you used and how it turned out.

Thanks!

I just purchased the LASFIT 7440 Amber Yellow LED Turn Signal Lights No Hyper Flash Canbus Error Free on ebay and will be installing next weekend. The front bulbs are proving harder to find a quality manufacturer. I'll let you know how it goes.

I did, however, I was going with a flasher built for LEDs.

...then I found where the flasher is located.

I'm running incandescent for the time being, and I've had a good part of this car's interior apart, already. However, what needs to be removed to get behind the instrument cluster is quite a bit, and I'm concerned about both breakage and introducing squeaks/rattles.

they are really bright in person, much better than stock, looking to track down the fronts next and to upgrade to either led daytime running lights or HID set up.

Is there a video which you watched to see how to install them in the front? Back lights looks fairly easy but the front are a little more challenging.

front you have to either take the wheel off or turn it inwards and pop the plastic cover off, works best taking the wheel off, i've seen my mechanic change the bulbs on an 08 before.

So the backs are 7440's what are the fronts? If anyone has the model numbers for the DRL's that would be great.
