I want to change my front turn signals to LED bulbs to make them brighter ( more visible ). I do not wish to go to clear lenses. What bulbs should I look for?

You might consider something like these. 51 SMD LEDs rated at 1000L. Tough to tell if that rating is accurate. I think manufacturers tend to be a bit optimistic in light output.

If you don't haveLEDs in the rear turn signals already you'll need an LED compatible flasher/relay so your turn signals don't 'hyper-flash

Yes my intent was that at this point anybody with LEDs in the rear turn signals would have already realized the hyper flash situation if not already corrected it.

So if you don't have rear LEDs in the turn signals already and haven't installed an LED compatible flasher you'll need to do so. If you do have LEDs installed in the rear turn signals and have installed an LED compatible flasher then never mind. Avoid resistors and don't take candy from strangers.

Anyone know of a LED compatible relay i could pick up at local auto parts store? I want to upgrade my turn signals as well.
