    Unless those LEDs have switching regulators, that should not happen. LEDs are a constant current even when turning on or off. Incandescents have a very large surge current when you turn them on.

    No noise issue that I have noticed. I still have the Craig in it.

    The Only LED noise I get are from LED Traffic signal's. They do not not play well will certain lower end FM frequencys. Seems to be about 50' radius from the signal light. that's in my DD though.

    I meant 1157s for the front turn signals. The dual filament ones. It would be cool to call it an 'exterior package' rather than just taillights. Maybe the side markers too? I really don't like the LEDs I bought for my side markers. Too dim.

    I changed the reverse Leds to the brighter 45 SMD

    Great to hear! I still wont fully commit until I see them in Dennis car though. Just 10 more days. I'll also second the question about the front turn signals. They are the only large bulbs left untouched, why not just go for the whole thing?

    Regarding the smaller bulbs for the makers, I'll curious what Tom Niemczewski's new boards will be like with the sideways firing LEDs.

    Yep, I have aftermarket stereo with a power amplified HIDDEN antenna (not a rear power antenna), along with 3rd LED brake light with a flasher unit. I *think* most of my static/noise is from the flasher unit or the power amplified antenna. I have not yet troubleshot it yet, but I'm going to start with the antenna since I don't get good reception with it anyway.

    Holy crap STOP D: ....

    Do not get your LEDs from superbright. You are WAY overpaying. Get these - I have them installed in my car and are great. Nick (LS1) has seen them, and I am confident he'd vouch that they're outstanding.

    Red ones for brake and running:

    Amber for turn signals:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/GP-Thunder-1...item5d27ade5fd

    White for reverse lights:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/GP-Thunder-1...item1c1dc45839

    Send them a message and explain you want to combine shipping; they did it for me. Took about a week to get all my lights in the mail.

    Just ONE....ONE LED from SuperBright is $20 before shipping. You can get all the red bulbs you need (6) for $15 before shipping.

    I'll take video for anyone who wants to see before they buy.

    Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:

    Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.

    Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....
