What kind of resistors do you need for the front and rear blinkers?

Don't get resistors. Just change out the flasher module under the dash

Ok, let's say i change it, but i change only couple of led bulbs so will it affect the halogen ones in a negative way? For example i get my rear bulbs replaced first and front ones will still be halogen.

And how do you even change it?? Someone should do a detailed write up, id appreciate it

No it won't harm the halogens. It just won't blink fast if one goes out. It's pretty simple to do, turn on your blinker, find which one is clicking, and change it out.

Under the dash in a black box. Its a relay, so remove the cover and just pull it out. Turn on the hazards and just feel for the click.

CREE. No sense in going with any other besides costs.
