Richard just wonder after you changed out the fog and side marker to LED, do you need to code it to make it work?

Thx

LED signal light are nice and bright, perfectly visible at any time. Doesn't matter what types of signal lights you have, it will be equally dangerous when other drivers choose to ignore them.
Just to correct something here, as I'm researching changing out my front turn signal bulbs.

As per Osram's bulb chart, our cars take 7507 bulbs, AKA PY21W bulbs, AKA 1056 bulbs.

NOT 1156 bulbs.

Bulb cross reference chart: https://www.superbrightleds.com/car-...oss-reference/
Check the manual ... Front and rear turn signal bulbs are the exact same type.

You're wrong. Even Sylvania's bulb Finder shows them as different, matching up with the other link I posted:

http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applic...l=2211&make=13

And even in the manual, it clearly says they are different. PY21W for the front, and P21W for the rear. P21W bulbs are the same as 7506, which is what the bulb finder chart above shows.
