I want better parking light/turn signal and marker lights
I don't know if it's just different picture quality but some pictures of the parking light and marker lights look like a better deeper and brighter amber light. Any suggestions on getting something better than the stock bulb? Not to much into the switchbacks but I would go with LEDs if its easy enough to do without causing a turn signal issues. There's a picture from a member (jreimnitz150) and his looks awesome. What do I need to do?? Thanks guys

LED's...for your turn's just make sure you buy the required flasher relay...and you will have no problems.

Thank you for all the info. I searcher the flasher and found 1 for $20. In the description tho it said could cause the cruise control to not work. Have you had this issue?

I have those LEDs and am putting them in tomorrow. I tried installing them a while ago and they hyper flashed. I bought resistors and was about to splice when I read this about the flasher. I went to Auto Zone today and got a EP27 for 16.10. I located where the flasher was located and will do this tomorrow. BTW, CAN bus has to do with the connection. My 2008 uses CAN Bus connections. The red circle is your Can Bus connection.

Oh alright. Thanks. Cool, let me know how it works out and if that causes any issue with the cruise control. I would definitely like to do it. Btw, just added some led bed lights. Came out pretty nice. I'll post it up tomorrow

Those would work but I don't think those would be as bright a factory halogens. I've seen those before. I would highly recommend finding something that puts out at least 400lm. My old 7.5W Cree LEDs were brighter than factory, those 5050SMD LEDs are good for interior lights but for exterior lights I don't think they would be bright enough.
