Has anyone found replacement lamps for the front and rear turnsignals which use LED's in lieu of convetional filament-style bulbs? I like the brilliance of the LED, but don't know where to find replacements for the stock ones.
Thanks,

There are lots of online LED stores. Just look up the bulb type in the owners manual and find an LED replacement online. They will need load resistors to keep the signal from flashing too fast.

This is for the rear.
A great way to spend $60.00 for something than can be accomplished for $6.00 (which is probably why they aren't OEM in the first place).

I can't tell from the service manual's schematic or diagnostic info if the turn signal / hazard relay is solid-state or mechanical. Anyone know for sure?
If it is a solid-state unit, no need to worry about load resistors. :-)
I guess the easy way to check is to buy some cheep LED bulbs, slap em on and see what happens.
You could always just remove a bulb, that should flash the remaining one faster.
I placed LED turn signals in the back and flashing dubbled in speed... Frequency depends on the load. Hazard light flash is ok.
Thanks all for the great answers. I'm not particularly interested in power savings, but LED's give a much brighter light, so I might actually alert some somnabulent cager that I'm intending to turn...
