Before investing too much into this, see how much space you have to work with. The RX rear turn signals require the whole assembly to be removed to change the bulb.

The problem wIll be clearance when trying to reinstall the housing.

These are the bulbs I ended up getting for the front and rear turn signals.

And these are the ones I got for the reverse lights.

All of the bulbs are much brighter than stock and no hyperflash.

Installation took about 15 minutes for all of the bulbs. You do have to remove the rear side taillights in order to change the rear turn signal bulb. There is a little plastic cover that you pop off and then you have access to the two 10mm bolts that hold on each taillight.

Thank you for being the beta tester haha. I got a couple of questions:
1. What is the difference between the links that you sent for the front and rear turn signals? Are they different connectors?
2. Do the bulbs get noticeably hot when in use? I would assume not since they're rarely ever used unless hazards are on or at a long left/right turn stop
3. Similar to question 2, do the bulbs start hyperflashing after a period of time?
4. What's the installation like for the front lamps? Any tips on what to avoid or spots that are hard to reach?
5. Any pictures/videos you can show us of it working?

Thanks so much again for pioneering this quest for us! lol

side note, I know about it Cuz I also changed my turn signals to led. I bought the Luyed LED bulbs from amazon. They've only been in the car for a couple of days. I'm giving it a week before I post a thread about my review on it. So far so good though. I did both the front and rears. It has built in resistors so the turn signals won't hyper flash.

here's the link.. LUYED 2 X 2590 Lumens Extremely Bright Error Free 3030 Chipsets 7440 7441 LED Bulbs Used for Turn Signal Lights,Amber Yellow(Brightest Amber LED On the Market) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWSFFF5..._dcIVybWC0YT23
How difficult to replace front bulbs? I have big hands. LOL
