Your blinker is gonna blink rapidly as if one of the bulbs is out. You need to install a resistor to fix the problem because of the low draw of the led compared to the stock bulb.

well does any one know where i get a step by step cuz i have been doin some research n most of my hits that i got back were tellin me to take the whole bumper off and then take the headlights off. but i can see the plug(or at least i think its it) but i cant reach it unless im looking at it totally wrong. I know which one is which becuase i just turned my dlr's into led also n got my hid's. so this is getting more complicated then it should be
