You can get them from Autozone, but they need a special flasher to operate properly, or so I've been told.

yup they sell drop in replacements but skip autozone for LEDs. You will need an electronic flasher for them to work properly.

online has had more of a selection. Just make sure to pick a style with enough LEDs and the proper configuration.

depends on the leds used but I would say get as many as you can depending on the area. I have 18 SMT LED towers for my brake/turn signal lights in the rear. In the front, I have 18 led towers that change color when using my turn signal. Some claim to be more powerful with less LEDs and this can be true, but the configuration is really important. I've found that tower style configurations work best as they throw light in all directions very much like a normal lamp.
