Well. I'm thinking of going this route : http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm
the 1st set, with 60 SMT LED's.
I'd be curious to see how you make out with the LEDS from autoillumination. I have installed 32 LED bulbs for front turn signals from a quality vendor here and then also a set of 63 LED bulbs from an Ebay vendor. Both sets of bulbs illuminated in a nice amber color (as opposed to the oem yellow) but I was very underwhelmed by the lack of brightness when compared to the stock yellow bulb.

A rep at Autoillumination claimed that those bulbs you displayed in the link are brighter than my first two attempted bulbs - but I haven't tried it.

And I agree - the bulb is wedge bulb 3457- and resistors are needed.

That is in-acurate.....the sylvania site is wrong, the front takes a wedge type bulb...I think the number is 3457 or something like that. I ordered some invisibulbs from eBay using the sylvania website number and then when I went to change out the fronts I found out the hard way there was a wedge buld up front.

Best to check 1st!
Yup, check. I know a few members that ordered and had to return the turn signals. damn syvania only applies to I think 2007 and on and Euro spec e60's for the 1157 offset bulb.
