For anyone considering LED bulbs, info you should know.

Please don't shoot me for crossposting this, but i dunno if everyone reads that reads here reads ICE and vise versa... thanks

1st off, I've found Jam Strait bulbs to be decent priced, and work well..
2nd, the REAR turn signal bulbs on 2002's (and i assume 2001's), are 3156's so the bulbs will fit outright..
as for the front turn signals and the brake lights, the bulb is trimable for the socket.. HOWEVER, the head of the bulb won't fit through the hole for the bulbs (the head of a 7440/7443 is smaller).., so i'm at a loss at what to do now.. which only leaves, apc's i think.. which.. i'd rather not use from the complaints i've seen here.. (even tho my apc taillights are nice and have had no probs).. and ideas/suggestions are appreciated..

while on the topic, if anyone wants a pair of Jamstrait Amber LED bulbs, PM me or email @ steve@gametrax.net. They're practically brand new, i used them for 2 days for rear turnsignals and decided I didn't want the hyperblinker. They're model# 3057-SA (super bright) $12 shipped -- I don't have the original packaging for them.

all you need is a variable load flasher, which is possible to get, or get one of the load resistors that jamstrait sells, that will take care of the hyperblinker effect..
