Well for LCI's an error message will pop up slightly I believe. I forgot.

for the 2004-2007 its doable. I did it a while back. You definitely can find it somewhere. I'm just too lazy to search and post.

This is not appealing due to the resitors. If someone made a plug-and-play LED bulb kit (amber) for the turn signals that would be great. Otherwise the frosted bulbs we are talking about here seem like a simpler solution to me.

Plug and play LEDs are tough because they operate at less power draw than the filament bulbs so they will inherently trip a bulb out warning without the proper resistance.
