I'd like to replace as many of my interior and exterior lights as possible with LED's - without doing any wiring. So just the stuff I can plug and play. Excluding headlights.

I've collected the following sets. But am wondering about running lights, turn signals, fog lights etc etc. I really haven't made a list. But would like to know how close I am to having a complete set to swap out with. And if you have a better source let me know? I'd like to stick with 5k white though.

Here's a set of puddle lights:

Here's a set of interior lights:

and that's as far as I've gotten. What other lights can I swap out with LED's? Does anyone sell a complete set?

You have to be careful buying off ebay,amazon. A lot of it is junk I've done been through all that with mine. I put in aftermarket head lights replaced everything with led now I can take the front end off to get the lights out blind folded. I found Diod Dynamics they are pricey but worth it i put in their switched backs and DRL they have a 5 year warranty one of the switch back went out in less than a month sent a email I had one on the way the next day. It's been nearly two years now haven't had a problem.

That's a little crazy dude. They want 40 bucks for a single tail light bulb(?!). I wonder how many $6 sets of bulbs I can go thru during the 3 year warranty?

Yeah they are high but I haven't had to take the front of the hoe apart in nearly two years. When looking for bulbs look for Sylvania ZEVO I know the little 194s have a life time warranty and they are really brite I just bought 12 of them to replace the week bulbs that come in the spyder head lights and I've had a set in my tag lights of my daily driver I guess close to 3 years and I work at night so they have plenty of hours on them still brite as new

Just a couple more questions:

1) What colors do I need these in? Obviously the stop light is red. And the turn signal I'm not sure if it should be yellow or amber to make the yellow lens brighter? Same with the side markers and running lights.

rear turn signal 3057
stop light 3057
front sidemarker 12961
daytime running light 3157

2) Do you have this ones model number?

high mount stop light LED

Now I'm reading you have to have a special part added to get the turn signals to work. And that the brake light does not go brighter when you hit the brakes. Anyone shed some light on those concerns?

Yes, you will need to wire in resisters at each corner for your turn signals. Otherwise you will get a "hyperflash."

Instead of resistors at the turn lights just get an electronic flasher that is led or incandescent compatible. EP29L for late GM I think.

From what ive read and i may be wrong but i thought "hyperflash" is a result of your vehicle being CANBUS equipped?

I don't think hyperflash is necessarily related to the canbus. LEDs have significantly lower load/draw, causing the mechanical type flasher to flash really fast hence "hyperflash", similar to having an incandescent bulb burnt out. The Electronic/LED compatible flasher compensates for the reduced load of the LED bulbs and a lot simpler than adding load resistors at the four corners.

In the NNBS platform, I believe the 2007 is the only model year that carried over the "flasher" box that you're regarding. From 08+ it is through the BCM. Now on later models, I believe 2012+ there is a way to go in and reprogram the BCM to adjust for LED lights which eliminates the hyperflash, but that was a later add-on.
