    So i need some help. i bought a set of yellow/orange LEDs for my GP and want to know the easiest way to install them and what i need to do. I recently had my left assembly stolen off my car, with the bulbs still attatched to my wires. i want to install the LEDs just in case it happens again so i at least have a blinker in the front of my vehicle. Any ideas?

    You just mean the turn signals/running lights correct? Get some 3157 LED's (I got mine from Diode Dynamics, pricier but comes with quality and customer support) and plug them in, and then wire a 50 watt, 6 ohm resistor across the turn signal wire and ground wire of the turn signal harness. The resistor is there to trick the car into thinking a normal bulb is installed so it doesn't blink super fast or give you a "bulb out" warning.

    If you have the cash, get some switchback LED's. I've got some, so my turn signals/running lights stay lit up white while driving, but blink amber colored when you use your turn signals or hazards. I personally think it looks nice, and can allow you to get rid of those nasty yellow running lights without getting pulled over for white turn signals.
