So, I really like the look of LED tail-lights. I have been thinking about replacing the bulbs in my taillights with LED bulbs. I know that if you replace the turning bulbs it will mess up the blinking pattern so im gong to keep this strictly BRAKE light only. Can someone let me know if this is possible with our Sonatas. i drive a 2010 Sonata BTW. Thanks!

yes its possible but make sure you get something with enough led's on (36 led is good enough) and for blinkers you can get resistors to slow down the hyper flashing, im getting this done soon from my hideous amber filament blinkers to some nice 36 led blinker RED bulbs with resistors

I put red leds in my rear blinkers and i have the white led front lights that are white when lite and blink orange so still street legal!!! i replaced the flasher under the steering wheel for an eletronic flasher i got at pep boys and no hyper flashing problem so sick

I drive a 2010 Sonata so the rear lights are a different style. Eventually i will probably convert the entire assembly to LED bulbs.

O sh*t my bad. I was thininking that actually. But i think i will stay with my 09-10 Tailights

Well here is a little update. I ended up getting shipped two different bulbs (One was correct). I threw the one bulb in to compare the LED to the regular bulb. Sorry for the crappy camera work...iPhone 4 lenses can get dirty! Now all i gotta do is the third brake light.

Of course i was stupid and ever got the number of LEDS you told me to. It still looks sharp!

 

[downhiller88]

is the led bulb red or white? because if you are using it for the tail where its already covered in red, you can use the white led bulb which is brighter than the red led

I used a bright red LED.
