It's not that simple.

I originally bought some inexpensive LED's from e-bay, they looked gr8, but when I used the blinkers or turned on the headlights, they made my euroswitch buzz loudly.

I then sourced and bought an LED that wouldn't cause the buzzing, but they are insanely expensive: http://www.chromeglow.com/catalog.asp?prodid=467491

After installation I found out you also need a resistor, becuz LED's will make the blinkers flash very fast, just like they do when a bulb goes out, so I got that from the same source.

This bulb is super-white, I'm happy with them, get a lot of good comments on them too.

i wonder if i would get the buzzing. i dont have the euro switch or foglights at all. and i knew about the fast flashing LED problem. i had LEDs in the rear turnsignals of my metro.
