If you swap out the electronic flasher it will be fine it's under the steering wheel kinda on the right.

All else fails you can always put load resistors in as well to simulate regular bulbs as far as the flasher is concerned. I did that on my Trailblazer with all LED front and rear signals.

On the f-body, you don't need load resistors if you replace the flasher with an electronic one.

I used a 194 bulb set of 10 off amazon on the camaro. Makes them look like candy corn tail lights with my red led bulbs in the brake housing

What I find funny is that "red" bulbs are effing garbage. The only luck I've EVER had was with the gel caps that go over the bulbs. I used these on the 2 bulbs displayed in the picture

I might get these for my side marker bulbs... I think LED is over kill for side markers, but I am going to put a red LED in the tail light.

Led style bulb replacements have problems with light dispersion. They are very bright however they do not make use of the reflective inner housing in the light housings. Basically they just look like really bright bulbs in the sockets and make your lights look like they are just those bulbs and not a full housing reflecting light

3157 led style seem to be junk no matter the manufacturer. I was in autozone the other day and sylvania makes a set of 2 led 3157 style bulbs for $34.99 Z series or something along those lines

Get the "Tower" style or "Plasma" style, or "virtual filament" style to better fill out the housing. None will use the full reflector housing as well as the original incandescent bulbs, but they will be far far better than the ones with dimmer LEDS all facing straight out in a small cluster.
