LED turn signal bulbs

I am planning on changing out the turn signal bulbs to LED but I am concerned about it not working correctly, such as the vehicle detecting it as being defective or hyper flashing. I noticed that the vehicle uses a solid state flasher which from my understanding should be immune from the hyper flashing side effect of low amperage LED bulbs.

Have any of you replaced your turn signal bulbs with LEDs? Did you run into any problems?

just use load resistors and you'll be fine. youtube it.

I was thinking of doing this as well. Sub'd for anyone that has any experience with putting LED turns and our Max's.

Yeah, I was wondering if those are needed though. I'd like to avoid having to deal with adding a bulky resistor and finding a place to mount it if one isn't needed.

The turn signal bulb is not very easy to access and change out so I wanted to make sure I get what I need instead of going through the trouble of getting to it and then finding out that it's not working correctly.

I suppose I could order some load resistors and if it ends up that I don't need them, I could return them.

I thought somewhere I was told you only need resistors when switching the rear turn signal bulbs. I thought the fronts were straight forward.

I would love to change the turn signals out to LED. When looking from the front, you can clearly see the yellow bulb in the headlight housing. I want a clear look, but flash yellow. Gives it a much cleaner look i think.
