I did a full converion on my Camaro...interior and exterior... interior is just as simple as chaing the bulbs... exterior requires a new flasher and resistors for the brake lamps... plus for the brake and reverse lamps you need high wattage bulbs..7W and up... they are a pretty penny

The interior is simple to do, did mine in a 10 mins. I'm yet to do the exterior. Anyone know where the flashers are located?

All are easy aside from the dash. Just have to choose the right product for its use.

I did full LEDs on my Camaro, full interior(including gauges), tail lights, reverse, side markers and front blinkers. Never changed a flasher or resistor... Worked amazing!!!

Ah, so we DO have two flashers? Is that common? I thought most cars only had 1 flasher. Why the need for 2?

If you think just LEDs helped, I'd highly recommend floor board lighting too. I did mine with 6" CCFL tubes(or maybe 9", I cant remember) and it made a world of difference.

Not a night shot but it gives you an idea:
