    ***** Note See Second Post *****
    Re edited post-
    Basically bought led bulbs for taillights and I realized Pontiac makes crappy housings and they aren't even bright as compared to my old tiburon. I bought a flasher but might just return everything and buy incandescent. So read second post

    We have an 80 watt replacement LED that I can 100% guarantee will be brighter than your OEM bulb

    It will be 100% plug and play and won't blow any of your fuses. LEDs draw less than your factory incandescent bulbs, so fuses will be just fine

    Save your money and invest in a set of LED tails. No need to mess around with flasher relays.

    If your referring to me having to use flasher relays I did not. I just wired the + and - to the + and - of the turning signal lights. Very hard to mess up and look amazing at night.
