Yes I had them in my GT. Every bulb in my car is LEDs BUT my tails. The brake lights are next. Don't get that style bulb, they suck. I had them in my JDM fogs and they would blink. I tried two sets already. Ill post up a link what Im about to order.

awesome thank you. if you put the leds in your blinkers don't you have to get something extra to keep them from blinking fast?

I enjoy the fast blinking.

It depends - I have LEDs in my brake lights and reverse lights now, and have no issues with them except for the fact that they don't throw light to the sides as much as a regular incandescent bulb.

You want to find at least a 3W or 5W "SMD" type LED that throws light in pretty much all directions. They will be brighter, but keep in mind the lumens rating on an LED is less than on an incandescent or halogen bulb. MUCH less.

The advantage for an LED is long life and low power consumption.

also LED's light up quicker by ~.2 sec

that's about 17 feet @ 60mph

I've got LEDs all around my car. Every bulb has been changed. Get a different flasher designed for LEDs, because the fast blinking can be outside the limit of flashes per minute. (Yes there is a limit.)

This being said, I love my lights. They illuminate amazingly fast compared to standard bulbs. Check them regularly though because sometimes the vibrations can cause the bases to wobble free causing them to not light up.

If I had a choice to go back to standard bulbs, I wouldn't....

Pics as requested.
