Question LED help needed

Ok, I am completely lost in most things electric other than spark so I figured I would get some advice from you guys. I have a Superbrightled idea and would like to know if I got everything right. I am replacing the backside of the car only right now and this is what I have come up with after researching...

Tails: 3157-R25
Brake: 3157-R25
Turns: 3157-R25

Reverse: 3156-WLX3

Sidemarker: WLED-R

Flasher: NO IDEA!!! HELP!!!

Does this sound about right to all of you as well? I would like to get them ordered up in the next day or so. Thanks!

And for the "Flasher" do you mean the actual flasher unit or the LED?

I mean the flasher unit that fits on our car. Is it a different flasher type LED as well? This could get confusing. These are for my tails which are LT1 style. Sorry should have mentioned that I swapped them about three years ago.

Does anyone know what the exact number may be for this flasher in question? But everything else was OK for the numbers I had listed?

You can get the correct flasher at any auto parts store. It's a Tridon EL12 flasher, here's what it looks like



If I recall correctly, it's roughly right around $8.

Blind, could you look on the site and tell me what one that is exactly as a match up since I am unsure if we have those out here. I have yet to see that brand and in my stupidity I will only go by the visual you presented me. Sorry for the extra work but thank you!

What site are you referring to? I just googled to get that picture. But that is EXACTLY what mine looked like, and I got mine from Advance Auto Parts. Same package, description, everything.

Gotcha, I don't see that one on their site anywhere.. I see they do carry some, but not of the same brand, so I don't know what their equivalent would be.

Thank you all very much for your help. If you look at my post in the for sale section you can see the LT1 lights I have on there now and how they light up. Once these are in I will retake pictures and post them. However, I am also putting a smoked version on so I will do pics of side by side. Filament/stock and filament/smoked and then LED/stock and LED/smoked. In case anyone is interested for the future.

Here are my options for when I tackle the front shortly. Keep in mind, no matter what I choose they too will be smoked out and clear coated. My only concern with the black backed ones are that there won't be enough light deflection and the LEDs will look like pinpointed lights.

Black backed:

Chrome backed:

Any thoughts, oh gurus of the exterior lighting?

i would definatly choose the chrome backed. mainly because of how it will reflect and it will look cool seeing a little glare behind the smoked out lens. kinda make it look like black chrome
