I think they should work. Might have to use a 10w resistor or change out the thermal flasher for a electrical one so the car doesn't think a bulbs out from pulling alot less amps. As far as brightness? Who knows, should be the same since LEDs are directional. Only down side I'd see is that you might see a circle of light lit up instead of the whole housing.

I've got them in mine. Make sure you by amber bulbs or whatever color your turn signals are. DON'T buy white. Buy the most LED's on the bulb you can. I think mine are 18 or something. Go to superbrightleds.com That's where I get all mine. 75% of my lights are LED's. If you put them in the front turns with clear corners, get the multi-directional one's. Mine need to be brighter. Hope it helps. And yes, you should get an electronic flasher(s)
they wil work, but for your turn signals youll need to get new flashers which are like 10$ each from the local autoparts store. remeber LEDs are unidirectinal so i dont think you would want to use them for your brake lights, they would be harder to see
Do you have part numbers of the ones you used? I am looking at putting LED's in my front turn signals for my 98Z. I do not have the clear corners, just the factory amber lens. Thanks for the info.
