Can't go wrong with JW or the radioflyer. They are vendors here on the forum, I know there is also a site called superbrightleds but have never ordered from there. You'll need a hyper flash harness I'm pretty sure.

I have bought from both corvette mods and
radioflyer- both are excellent.
1.) They can be a bit tricky to install- It took me a little while to get them seated correctly.
2.) The light color in running light mode- is a bright white- this does look different and creates a contrast if your headlights are stock....which means...
3.) Upgrading the stock headlights to the HID lights- this was pretty easy to do as well- but you will likely have to re-aim your headlights- many sites show how to do this.
4.) Flash pattern is much faster than with the stock bulbs- a wire harness will eliminate this.
5.) After all this- you will find that your new bright white lights don't match the interior lighting- so you might want to get the interior led light kit.
In the end- very worth it!!!
