I took the car out last evening and noticed the left turn signal was just solid on the dash. I'm guessing this means I have bulb out on the left side somewhere. No big deal to replace, but I see you can now get LED replacement bulbs that snap right into the stock sockets. Anyone ever tried these? Just curious because they may brighter and run cooler than the old fillement style. Then again, they may suck. If you have any experience with them, please share.

I haven't done any on my Camaro but I've bought some from LUYED to replace the halos in my z4 and the headlights on my riding lawnmower. I've also got some unknown brand LEDs for reverse and side lights on my LR3. A friend of mine has replaced basically every bulb in his LR Defender with LEDs, I think he mostly bought from AUXBEAM. So far they all work well, LEDs have a harder time throwing light so I'd be cautious about headlights but anything that's meant to be an indicator or flood lamp is great. The only real problem with replacing incandescent with LEDs is on newer cars that have light-controlling computers instead of simple circuits so they might throw an error due to the low power use. Since the turn signals repeat using a very analog electrical circuit, it's hard to say how the blinking rate might change. You could try to counter that with resistors though.
