Default LED's for 2011 Coupe: turn signals, brake lights

I did a quick search for "LED", didn't find much. Some interior lights discussions and I HATE to ask a retread question....But, does anyone know if there are LEDs available for my new car???

fine out the bulb number it used, then look for an LED version of them. Unless you are talking like a whole new housing.

fyi, if you change to LEDs you need to change out your flasher for one that is LED compatable... LEDs dont pull enough power for a standard flasher to think theres a bulb there, so you get that annoying fast flash, telling you theres a bulb out.

I went through and converted my 2000's turn signals to LEDs. It gets expensive if you want it done right.

It will depend on the bulbs you get. You can get ones with built in voltage limiters (if available) or you can use a different flasher relay.

Mine came from superbrightleds.com, but I used the Sylvania bulb replacement guide from their website.

My DIY is in the exterior DIY section, just to give you an overview.
