led's aren't really brand name.

I have alwasy used www.superlumination.com I know the guy personally but he has every bulb type at good prices, with fair shipping thats crazy fast.

for the interior you will need 194 matrix 5 led for the doors, and 31mm dome for the map lights. but be careful when installing those, being slammed into the clips has caused damage.

I would do exterior first though, what size bulbs you need depend on what year you are sporting

j-allan: Don, how can you sleep at night knowing your car is available to drive 24/7? Very, very tasteful mods, IMO, from the signal mirrors to the hids and engine compartment, well done!
Kat_Daddy: btw, i think plat still holds the milly crown here. Don is moving into the #1 contender spot though...
Roof: Don has the makings of a good padawan.
we will have to see where this goes before i take him under my wing

please clue please get some red ones for your turn signals, it drives me fucking insane when I see any car with nice ass factory led brake lights, but then a worst quality turns that it look like they tried to hide

96 S, for the rear you will need 4 1157 towers (in red, white will make your brakes look orange, leds have the same output GO WITH RED) for the turn signals you need 2 1156 bulbs, since you have a 96 I would recommend you going with amber as again, white leds will make it look like urine, but amber will give it a nice deep look, you will also need 2 (and only 2) load resistors, these are also sold at superlumination for somethingl ike 4 bucks a pair, all you do is the use the supplied vampire clips and attach them onto the postive lead of each side signal, very easy to install, however you must have them otherwise you turns will flash at like double the normal speed

i just noticed that super lumination sells some load equalizers also, they can be used as resistors for the rear/front turn signals when installing LEDS. check out the link and the installation diagram for more info.

load equalizers
