been thinking about doing my taillights and my turn signals in leds. I enjoy the fun little projects like that. also i think i read somewhere that i need to get something so that my turn signals will blink at the proper speed, anyone know what im talking about and where i could get it or should i just wire in a resistor so that it has the same resistance as a regular bulb, hmm maybe that would cut the brightness.... i should stop rambling now, thanks guys.

You need an electronic flasher. Tridon EL-12 is available at auto parts stores for under $10.

I've gotten some stuff from here, and I especially like the rocker switches:

And they have some neat clues for wiring:

+1 I just installed one tonight and it made my lights bling faster, even without LED's, I have the Switchback LED's on the way for the front turn signals, they light up white, but when you turn on your signals, they signal amber.
