Front LED turn signal
Has anyone installed them? I know you need resistors but not sure what wire to connect the resistors to?

I've been doing some research in this as well, as I saw the turn signal LEDs on a 2011 Hyundai Sonata and Audi A3... however, the problem I see with our vehicle is that there is a cap over the turn signal which means the LED bulb won't even be see for the cool matrix effect. The Sonata did not have this cap and looked awesome, but the A3 did and I couldn't even tell initially it was an LED... it seemed pretty pointless at that point.

Well I took my car to this shop with the 3157 LED bulb and they put it in and it would blink fast for about 5 seconds and stop but man when it blinked for those 5 seconds it was beautiful I tell you. I had resistors but they could not find which wire for the turn signal to splice.

I think i will just get some Piaa 3157 xtreme white bulbs for now.

I've tried it using the LED bulbs, they won't even turn on. You need resistors but there is a thread with pics that shows the correct wires to tap into. I believe its a green wire.
