They sell LEDs that are just plug and play. They are made as replacements for your car bulbs...Pretty much all sizes 194s,1157s, ect.

I have a regular amber 194 bulb and I have the Silverstar ambers for the turn signals and clearnce lights. They look blue when they're off and they're amber when they're on.

yeah, im the same way, exept i have the "Hyper White" bulbs in the small lenses and the same silverstars in my signals, they look cool, i was suprised how a blue bulb can put out a bright yellow/orange light.

Don't you need 1157s (instead of 1156s) for your clear corners? That's what Ant96GLE said at least...

Or maybe it doesn't even matter
