Or you could call the parts dept at a GM dealer.

Total LED Replacement
I replaced ALL the exterior bulbs with LEDs. Brakes, tail lights, side marker lights, DRLs, all turn signals, upper brake lights. No effect on the Cruise Control. I used it extensively today and it worked fine.
I also replaced the door lights (what a difference!), the mirror lights, the trunk light, the interior courtesy lights in the back seat. Yo can now do surgery inside the car.
I guess when the dash lights and radio lights go, I'll address them.
I would rate this a total success. Wifey and I took the car out on Thursday night and it looked GREAT. The side marker lights really make a big difference.
If I can figure out how to upload pictures, I will.

I’m annoyed that I spent $25 on the sylvania zevo bulbs for my front turn signals and they are dim all the time. Once I saw my DRL’s working properly, I put the original incandescent bulbs back in. So much brighter. I’ll worry about the overheating when the time comes. Only LED’s I have now are the 3rd brake light bulbs.

Couldnt you tap a spare bulb socket into one of the bulb circuits and tuck it behind your rear filler panel or back bumper under the car and have that act as a resistor essentially? Get a small signal housing and tap in a bulb

i took and wired a stock Z28 spoiler brake light into my 3rd brake light. Then i hid it in my spare tire compartment so it's not seen. Cruise works perfect, no more dimly lit 3rd brake light(SS LED) and i have a full LED conversion all done

I have NOT done the complete LED conversion yet. What I have completed are the Front and Read Blinkers plus the Electronic Flashers.
When I turn on the Blinkers everything works perfectly, until I turn on the lights. When I turn on the lights, the front blinkers, go slow and barley look like they are blinking.
Question.... Could this be due to the filament bulbs I still have in the side markers? I do have these on order. The original ones I purchased where extremely dim.

Anybody have the issue of a lingering clicking after the turn signal shuts off? I switched to the LED compatible flasher (same as the one listed here) and the correct LED DRL bulbs, and i get a couple lingering clicks after i either complete a turn or manually shut the turn signal off.
#59
yeah, I replaced the turn signal flasher to the right above the gas pedal with the same one the original post listed (led compatible) it works fine, no issues with the day time running lights being dim or staying solid, just the "clicking" of the turn signals continues for two or three clicks after the turn signal stalk returns to the center (either after completing a turn or manually shutting the signal off)

I wonder if you have a bad flasher. That sounds like something is storing up a charge and then releasing it after the circuit is cut. You might put some probes on your flasher input and output to see if the flasher is the source of the stray power or if it's coming upstream of that point.
