as far as the hyperflash I think he sells the kit that plugs in under the dash and uses an electric flasher which is the way to go. It is very easy to install.
But you can always use resistors.
You really need LED's because normal bulbs get hot and over time melt the housings and even the sockets.
I have replaced a few sockets for friends that had gotten so hot that they were starting to melt at places.
Right above the bulb eventually a small hole will be burned into the top of the housing and you will find yourself replacing bulbs every time you drive in the rain.

Hotty Toddy by the way! Are you a current UM Rebel (Ole Miss I'm assuming) or an alumnus? I graduated in '02.

It's faily easy. Wish I had taken some pics.
First, get the front up on some jack stands.
It helps to turn the wheels in the direction of the side you are working on.
Remove the 5 or 6 body screws that hold on the panel underneath the light.
Pull the brake cooling duct away from the bumper and push it out of the way.
Remove the bulb sockets from the housing. DRL/Turn bulb has a tab, squeeze the tab and turn counter clockwise. Side marker socket, just twist and pull out.
Two screws at each corner and a spring hold the housing in place.
Remove the screws and release the spring. The spring is not very strong, so you can release it with your fingers.
Remove the housing and mounting fixture.
Remove the two screws holding the housing to the fixture.
Reverse to put it back together.
