What do you have to do to put LEDs in them. Do you have to rewire them in?

plug in some 3157 LED bulbs in there. Make sure you replace the thermal flasher to EL12 flasher as well

It sounds like someone replaced the bulbs with the regular turn signal bulbs and not the dual filament bulbs. I think the 3157 bulbs are the correct bulbs. The dealer will have them.

Oh and be sure to get 3157 NA bulbs.

The NA stands for Natural Amber, meaning the color will not fade because its made of amber glass, like if you just got an A: Amber bulb(color painted onto glass). NA bulbs will be super orange and pretty darn bright. Couple months ago I accidentily replaced one of my bulbs with a regular Amber and the difference was night and day between the two.
