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.

You’ll need a digital flasher. Find out WTF (where...) your flasher unit is located FIRST. I did LEDs on our ‘02 GMC. Then, found out the freaking dash has to come apart to replace the stupid flasher. Even then, you have to reach up, back, and around the dash frame (back of the fuse panel) to R&R the flasher unit.
I’ll remember that move to rip the nards off the GM engineer, yes, lower-case-e, who thought that was a wonderful place to put a flasher. I mean, c’mon’, you’re that hard up for billable repair jobs in the shop to have to do stupid crap like that?!? Not that I’m bitter, or anything. But the LEDs are awesome. I need more backup lighting, but all else is great. Highly-recommended for the DRLs, since they tend to burn up the light socket. Do them first.
