We offer a few DRL LEDS
White- We offer 39 led and 60 led version http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/product.sc?productId=239&categoryId=4
Amber- 39 LED http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/product.sc?productId=244&categoryId=4
Switchbacks- 60 LED http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-general/2558683-60-led-daytime-running-lights-switchbacks-in-stock.html
The benefit to these besides the color is they do not get hot like the stock bulbs. Those are known to burn through housings which causes you to burn out more bulbs and $ for replacements.

Those look great. Are they just plug and play?

Yes and no. You can plug them right in to the stock housings. However the LEDs will hyperflash unless you either:
a. put a resistor in line with the lights
b. put a replacement solenoid in the dash
I went with option B. Was easier than trying to find a place to put the resistors which can get very hot and if I ever upgrade my rears to LEDs I won't have to put resistors on them as the dash solenoid will cover those as well.

So, Vetteman Jack - you can just buy the bulbs from JW Motoring and replace your amber blubs with these. If you 're like me and like the hyperflash, there is nothing else you have to do or buy.

Guess I'm in the minority when it comes to the hyperflash effect when using your directionals, as I like it and think it makes your turn signal more visable to other drivers. I do not plan on trying to "correct" it. Your signals still work but at a faster rate - thus creating the term hyperflash. It's all up to personal preference.
