you might try the web site I always use for lighting, it's Autolumination.com (http://autolumination.com/) i've had nothing but good experiences with them, and their shipping is very fast

oh, and you only need load resistors for LED turn signals

ive been to that site and unfortunatly theres no option to ship to Croatia. :(
so can i add my own loading resistors or is it best to order that as well?

i ordered my load resistors, you just splice them between the positive wire and the ground wire......you need a 6 ohm resistor for each LED signal bulb, if you are planning to make the front turn signals LED too then i know it it possible to only use one 3 ohm resistor for the both bulbs (front and back) for the left and right sides (so thats one 3 ohm for left front and rear, and one 3 ohm for right front and rear) if any of that isnt clear, just ask

i have jam strait, they work good, super bright, i went through autoillunmination too, they are a good company to deal with.

crolero, haha yeah bascally they just give the resistor a fancy covering and some built in wire splicers and add about 5 dollars on to the price

they broke 2 of my bulbs, and lost my order twice..... i suggest this place http://superbrightleds.com/led_prods.htm
they ship out of the U.S. and ship very fast, and have a better quality than autolumination.

just a quick Q for ya... do the 194's also blink when the turn signal is on or are they always on when the headlights are on? i got the amber ones so now im thinking i should have gotten the white ones....

OK Quick question about tail light bulbs. After finally figuring out what the numbers are for the tails in my alero (3057) I can't seem to find any LED bulbs to match. will teh 3157's fit, will it cause any problems if I were to use 3157's? They look exactly the same as my 3057's what's the diff.?

no differance, its the same bulb. if you look on most sites for LED bulbs you'll find that it says 3157 replaces a lot of them one being the 3057. just dont get the 3156 those are differant. gl

for yoru question about the 194's crolero. when you trun your parking lights on or its night time, etc. your led's will be on, and when you turn your turn signal on, they will blink just like they would normally, there is no difference at all, just an instant on instant off look , and much brighter

Good luck with those superbrightleds...we've had a few burn out so far, but we haven't had them very long. I have Jam Strait in my GAGT and have had them for about 4 years or so and have had no problems. We also had them in April's red Alero, but we never re-installed them on her black one.
cheap = Superbrightleds.com
good = Jam Strait/Catz (same bulbs)
best = LEDtronics.com (quite $$, but they shine onto your reflectors and look very well made)

Ok sorry im a little confused. Im only replacing the front turn signals with LEDs (the big ugly amber ones) so do i need to put 3 ohm or 6 ohm load resisters in there?
