Talk to me about LEDs

I basically want to replace the amber turn signals and reverse lights with LEDs. Any specific ones that I need to look for to keep away from error messages? Thanks.

Well you can swap to the updated tails with the built in led turn signal and then add led reverse bulbs. You won't be able to use the face lift tails as that requires SAM coding. Also, even with canbus compatible bulbs sometimes you might still get an error. You can order the bulbs from our vendor aznoptics.

We'll have those same Plasma reverse light LEDs Vic has mid this month. Larger LED units are now starting to adopt Plasma for the brightness over SMD, but we waited till some of the known issues were worked out first. Same with why we're currently waiting for the new 3D LEDs to resolve some known bugs first before bringing to market.
