Default LED Lights

I am wanting to put LEDs throughout my vehicle, inside and out, and was wondering if this is just a plug and play or do I need some type of adapter. If an adapter is needed, can someone tell me what type and how it would be installed. I tried LEDs in the tail lights before and they would not flash with turn signals or emergency flashers so I'm not sure if I did something wrong or not. Thanks!

If you buy the correct LED bulbs they are plug and play. To get them to work in the turns correctly you need an electronic flasher that can be had at any parts store for around $20. The are sometimes labeled as a heavy duty flasher.

I know here in Michigan you can't have stuff like that, only the emergency vehicles can have lights like that.

having leds in a blinker u need a light duty flasher cause they dnt draw near as much as normal bulb. they wont flash if u dnt have that. as for leds in ur interior bulbs just get the same size bulbs and put them in. as a marker light they just plug in. i have them in all my rigs.

Um what? LED tail lights are legal in EVERY state. Sorry to say, but most new cars now come with LED tail lights bone stock from the dealer. I am not sure what you are talking about.

Haha, I'm sure he meant that blue/red, flashing, or ground effect lights aren't legal.
