Default Who has done LED brake, side marker or fogs? pics plz

I would like to replace my brake lights, side markers and fogs because as we all know they burn out quickly. I found some LED replacement bulb clusters on a website and would like to see how they actually look on a camaro. Do they blink alot quicker than stocks? Did they fit just like stock or did you need to do any wiring?

I don't have any LEDs done on my car but I do know if you put LEDs in your markers you'll need an electronic flasher, otherwise they won't blink at all.

I've got LEDs in my side markers, I didn't have to get an electronic flasher unit. I just pulled out the 194 style bulbs, plugged in a 194 style LED unit from Varad. White LEDs are definitely much more sexy than those old amber and red bulbs.

Those will work for your reverse lights... But you will need a flasher for your brake lights/turn signals.. Also the light is alot better if you use like a red LED with the red lens...

You can get a flasher from any auto parts store. I have LED's in my drl's for now until I get them on my sidemarkers/reverse lights. I use the EL 13 flasher.

That will really work? I've always heard you needed a flasher.

I dont think the sidemarkers flash. The stock turn signal bulbs that flash are a 3157 bulb. The 194 bulbs are just the side marker bulbs.

Ahhh. I was thinking he meant the turn signal when he said side marker. My mistake.

I have all LED's except for the DRl's. Side markers front and rear and tail/brake lights are LED's. Pic quality isn't very good tho.

The only thing is you will need a flasher. The one listed above is the one I use. The cruise won't work unless you get load simulators for the brake lights. That is what it affected on my 99. Same car in pix.
