best leds

just wondering what the best leds are? im thinking of getting led fog lights, and either switchbacks or amber leds for turn signals. just wondering best place to get them and what ones for turn signals so I don't get hyper flash
thanks,

What year vehicle are you? Sorry doesn't say on phone app.. You need a special trailering blinker relay to replace your stock one under the dash to stop hyper flash. Unless 09+ then you have to use the resistors

It's a 2012. So then is there any specific resistor?

If you buy switchbacks i believe they have an option to buy the resistors too.

Or buy the really expensive ones and they have the resistors built in

I'm not too much of a fan of switchbacks anymore... I like that amber glow at night... So nice! Anyway, I went with a set that have 10 CREE LEDs on them each. Dem be some bright fuggers indeed... Still going to need the resistors though.

Only tail lights:

Same here. That's why i just stuck with the amber blinker bulb and went with an amber ring with my retro.

CREE LEDs are pretty much the only thing that's worth using. Def make sure there's resistors in them, or else they probably won't work right

Didnt need them. I put in a flasher relay to take care of the hyper flash. I do have a 2003, which still had flasher relays... And yeah... CREE brand are the only way to go, and its what I have installed.
