Well, do a search on Google on LED circuits. Mostly you just need a 1K ohm resistor on one side of it and you're good to go. if you can't find what you need on Google let me know. I've got a whole bunch of good info and am currently working on building custom LED tail lights for my clear tails.

I do know they make LED turn signal bulbs for exactly what you're doing so I'd also search around for those.

Search and the shall find!!!!!!

I remember seeing a thread on that subject a couple of weeks back. Someone actually had a link to a website for a company that was making LED body kits, interior etc. Can't remember if they had them for blinkers, but if you did a search you might come up with something

Good Luck,
Travis

Thanks guys,
I think Mike give me the closest answer as to what I was looking for when he said "I do know they make LED turn signal bulbs for exactly what you're doing so I'd also search around for those." If that's the case, then they should just be plug and play...correct?

yes they make any kind of led bulbs

I resently put quad led 194 bulbs into the gauge cluster and they are bright . Check e-bay their is hundreds of them f/s and the price is resonable too.
The only thing you need to know about them they are +/- sensitive, so if you put it into socket and it doesn't light up - take it out and turn it 180 degrees and put it in again.
