Canary2323 said:Have a link to your article, found a cheap pair of headlights I'm going to try it with. Looking at a couple leds on ebay but it's hit or miss with that stuff sometimes.

dmanns67 said:All the bulb numbers are the same, except for the front turn signal, you will need a 3157. Stock bulb number is 3757, but I have not found a 3757 LED.
The 3157 LED is the same, but you will need to shave the tabs off on the side of the bulb so it will fit in the socket.
Make sure you pick up some 6 Ohm 50 Watt resistors for your turn signals. This will correct the hyperflash issue.

So I will locate some 6 ohm 50 watt resistors on ebay and wire them up to the turn signal and ground wire's correct? What about changing the turn signal flasher to the LM 487? Will I still need the resistors? Or will that fix the fast flash by its self?
Thanks again for your help.
