C5 DRl Lights
I have been having a problem with my front turn lights always burning out. What I want to do is replace them with LED's. Does anybody know where I can get some LED's that replace the 4157NALL? Oh and also I love the marketing for the 4157NALL. The LL is supposed to stand for Long Life and we know that a bunch of crap.

First off, fill out your profile so that we'll know what you're rollin' in. Secondly, the lights do last a long time if you keep the water out of the socket. Look at the picture below:
See that hole? If you cover it so that water can't get into the socket, your bulbs will stop blowing every time you look up. Buying LED's will do you no good until you fix the real cause of the problem.

Best way is to pull the light housing and take a look. If its cracked you'll see evidence of heat/discoloring on the bulb holder. A bit of silicon sealant will probably fix it.
