Well I decided to go all out.
I bought these bulbs

They are red LED bulbs.
When I blink I get a full red circle.
But the stock red part and the LED red part didn't match.
I got some matrix 1157 for the top.
Now they both match.
I'm satisfied except for one thing.
When I blink.
It blinks like 1000000 blinks per second.
Anyone know of a way to slow this down?

Nice bulbs. Better find a way to slow it down before accusation of "rice" get around.

There is probably a resistor in those bulbs that control the blinking frequency. I don't know if you could swap it out

i did this a while back

I think it looks nice, specially when you can't see any orange inside the white part of the tail lights. and they do blink a little faster oh well

I got my BLUE 194B bulbs for the step lights(doors) from Autozone for less than $2. They are a nice bright blue color, not white with blue tint.

My dome light is a Eurolight torpedo, but it only produces a brighter white light.
