Installing exterior LED's?

Anyone change the exterior LED's yet?I wanted to change all the non-LED to LED like the blinkers,parking lights etc.
Is there a digital relay needed to make them blink the correct speed?
Which LED's did you choose?And what type?
I do not want to use the load resistors to correct the speed,I rather use a new relay instead.

I have the premium package w/ out the tech though (no navi) but almost positive the low beams r HIDs... I think those bulbs in the link I listed above would match pretty close if i got the 5k.. plus I wouldnt need ballasts

I did not see the part about exterior led's for turn signals in the other thread.Maybe I overlooked it but i will look again. Iwant t odo the front blinkers in amber led and the rear in clear since they are behind red lenses.

Yea then u got HID for the lowbeams, Your right that you wont need to purchase a ballast since the car has the factory setup, just swap out those bulbs. Good luck!!!!
