Replacement Turn bulbs
I stumbled accross this site tonight while looking for new turn signal bulbs up front... LOTS of choiced and fairly cheap.

I bought a pair of wide angle amber colored LED lights for up front turn signals... hope they turn out good...
I almost bought these instead....
But I decided against it.. they light up amber also.
Like I said, they're cheap. I wanna see some other guys try some also.

Well, I got the turn bulbs today. I ran out and installed them on.. but quickly took them off.
When I turn on the turn signal, it blinks REALLY fast. Instead of blinking twice every second, they blink about 4-5 times a second. About twice as fast as the stockers...
I drove around the block, and I just couldnt stand them.. I tested each bulb on both sides and no difference.
I guess they do that because they are LED bulbs.... Gonna contact the dealer and try to get the chrome bulbs at the top of the page.
Heads Up: LED turn signal bulbs MAY not work on our trucks.

Let me know how that turns out. Thinking about it myself.

Back from the post graveyard.
I finally found a shop locally that sells the chrome 3157 turn signal bulbs today so i bought a pair and installed them. They definately clean up the headlights alot, and makes the front of my truck that much better. As well like everyone has said they are cheap.
Here they are installed on my clean truck.

The chrome (amber lit) ones are pretty good. I use them and their output is slightly less than the clear ones but still good enough. Dont get any other color than amber or white.
As for the LED units, their output is poor but straight on they do the job okay. You need to place a resistor pack in parallel with your signal circuit to get them to blink normally. Or as I recommend, use a variable load electronic flasher as a direct swap to your existing one.
