Default A little help with DRL install please

Not sure if this post is in the right section. If not, I appologize in advance.
Just got DEPO clear corner lights for the 04 coupe. Two questions -
1) I'd like to use LED switch back bulbs. But there seems to be some controversy about the 60-lamp bulbs. Burn out fuses and such. Which LEDs are others using without issues?
2) If you have installed these clear corners on your car, is there anything difficult or easily broken that I should watch out for? How much time should this job be expected to take?
TIA.
Glen

Thank you.
Does anyone know if the 48 light LEDs have the same "fuse blowing" issues as the 60s? I know several of our vendors sell these units, but I didn't save the information when I read it.
Again, any information would be greatly appreciated.
