led bulb replacement where to buy recommendation
The first failure on my 2003 z06 . the front DRL bulb is out .is out.
I would like to replace the DRL bulbs, tail/brake bulbs, side marker bulbs and fog bulbs with LED bulbs.
I would like yellow fog bulbs and the flasher resister that plugs in under the dash.
I watched some you tube videos on how to, looks easy enough.
Can some one recommend a place where I can order all these?
especially the yellow fog bulbs and the under dash resistor.
Thank you..

Melting Slicks
Just to clarify, it is not a resistor. In a C5 the turn signal and hazard functions are provided by the hazard switch. A hyperflash harness replaces the portion that handles the turn signals with a flasher that's LED friendly. Hazards will still hyperflash because that function remains untouched in the OEM hazard switch.
Check this one out. It's completely plug-and-play: no splicing or anything.

GCG gave you a good lead on the hyperflash.
There are also some forum vendors that can supply you the entire package of bulbs, LEDs, and hyperflash giving you "one stop shopping". There are certainly others, but the ones I first think of are Radioflyer Innovations, Vette-Lights, and JW Motorsports. Many of the other parts vendors will probably have what you need, too.
If you have a little time to wait, watch the C5 Parts for Sale section. Members will sometimes switch from one style of light to another and have good units for sale at a discounted price.
Best wishes with updating your lights.

Also, be aware that the HEAT from the incandescent bulbs in the DRL can melt holes in the plastic. Consider using some kind of epoxy to repair those housings before you do the bulb change-over. It is frustrating to have moisture continue to invade that housing and corrode the electrical contacts.

I like Radio Flyer for LEDs.
