Default Just swapped led into front bulbs

It was easy. Got amazon bulbs. I can list.
parking lights have 2 flaps in front of wheels with 2 10mm bolts each side. Drop flap and change bulbs.

use new heavy duty flasher under steering wheel panel. 2 Phillips and 2 7mm bolts. Drop and swap flasher located on upper right side of wheel

fogs I changed from top. I pulled harness first then twist and remove bulb. Repeat for install

quality of bulbs was night and day

See passenger fog bulb is original color

Is the bulb all that had to be changed? Part numbers?

The front turn signal bulbs call for load resistors in the description to deal with hyper flash. Did you have to use them or did the HD flasher take care of any hyper flash?

Some LEDs work poorly on the interior, so getting units with the proper orientation is critical. The Stereo and Electronics section has a number of guides on this. For example, the lights in the door handles are especially problematic.
