Default LED bulbs for front DRL and turn signals?

Anybody replace their amber incandesant bulbs with LED,I see there is some on the market that look like they will plug right into the socket,I think these would run much cooler thus not burning or melting the socket if they worked.

I installed Radio Flyer Innovations, a forum vendor, Switchback DRL's and they are great. They are white LED and flash amber LED with the turn signal activated.

I got a set from diode dynamics. The good thing is its plug and play. The bad is they were even more dull that the cheap oem bulbs that they replaced plus unless you buy their harness you will get the rapid flashing when your turn signal is engaged. I had a set of their fogs also that only lasted for mabey 10 hours so im sure they will give out soon, glad they offer a warranty. I went with Amazon after that.

Another vote here for the radio flyer switchbacks. They are bright and pretty much plug and play

Also used Radio Flyer with switchbacks work great. I had to replace pig tale sockets because my originals were so deformed from heat they wouldn't hold the bulbs in.
