Good question. I'd like to see if there's a resolution too. The rear clears didn't disperse the light well and were kinda dim, so I left the stock ones on and only used clears for the front side markers.

I would think LEDs would need some mods to the wiring and/or harness... unless they make ones that fit the stock plug?

Where would one get these direct replacements?

What wheels are on your car? I really like that style.

You are talking about the marker lights right? Just do a search for Red T5 LEDs.

I have some like this in our white TA:

The wheels on the orange car are 19in CCW 505As.

If it's for the taillight markers, should be a direct plug' n play for LEDs. Just get the right bulb number.

I know the lights are not on in pic, but if this is the light ur talking about, no modification of wiring is necessary. Just swap in an LED on each side. When my lights are on, the red shows right through the VHT nicely.
