V-LED Triton V3 turn signals?

I have a couple questions about the V3 Triton LED bulbs, if anyone has any experience with them. I did a search but it seemed like the questions were generally in reference to using them as DRLs. For the moment, I'm more concerned with using them as turn signals. Rear signals for now, if they work I'll probably order a set for the front as well at some point.

I'm wanting to put these in my '13 Maxima SV. It's a lease, so I don't want to do anything that can't be cleanly reversed at the end. And I'm not sure I trust myself messing with the wiring anyway. So, with that in mind...

1. It doesn't look like these require any resistors to be actually spliced into the wiring, is that correct? It looks like it's all plug-n-play. So, at the end, I just pop them out, put the stock bulbs back in, and no one would ever know the difference?

2. Rear turn signals have clear lenses, it looks like only the bulb itself is amber. So is it OK to order red LEDs? Or is there something else in there that would require them to be amber for whatever reason?

3. Do these fit? They look big. Am I gonna have issues getting them into the housing?

Thanks in advance.

I have these installed on my 5.5 gen maxima as brake lights, and signals. They're expensive as hell, but I love them. There's no brighter LED solution out there as far as I can see. To answer your questions:

1. The kit comes with a box (transformer, and load resistor built into one unit). There is no need for anything else once the kit is installed.

2. It's a matter of personal choice what color LED you put into the signal lens. I personally went with the Amber because I figured the red might get a LITTLE lost in the already red LED brake light. Other than that, red or amber are both legal.

3. They are pretty big when compared to an original bulb. They fit into the housing perfectly fine as long as you use their supplied hardware as it was intended. The only other thing you'll have to watch out for is your clearance behind the bulb. Make sure you can put the trunk liner back into place without disturbing anything.

I have the VLED switchbacks on my 09 SV. They look great and are easy to install. You will need the 3157CK base adapter for our car.

Thanks! What's the parking light adapter option on the vled.com? Do I need that too?

I only have the front turn signal switchbacks. You can email vled and they will tell you what you need. That's what I did for the fronts as our vehicle isn't listed on their website.

I just tried to purchase the 5k switchbacks (v3 tritons), but the 3157ck adapter is not coming up in the drop down menu. I sent vleds an email, waiting for a response.
