Default LED turn signals

I'm looking for replacement of my stock turn signals. Are there any good variants? I was able to find only RECON smoke lights but the comments are not very positive...

I looked through alot of info when looking into led tail light bulbs, found some good ones for that use, the main issue with turn signal lights was needing more parts to prevent hyper blinking/burn outs. Honestly ild just keep using regular signal bulbs since they only get used a little and last for years even when incandescent myself. head lights/fogs/tails/spots, those are where to go led for brightness and bulb life!

I'm running RECONs and they work just fine. They a PIA to get in, but they work great.

Thank you all for the replies! I don't like the look of OEM signals that's why I'm looking for replacement) As I found out there are no alternative to Recons so I have nothing to do but to try them...

One more question. Is it possible to solve "blinking problem" of recon turn signals other than to install the resistors? I have heard that a special relay could help...

I wouldn't do a relay just for turn signals. Too much wiring for such a simple function.

I would stay away from resistors if you can again for just turns (headlights are OH to do though).

You might want to look at less which are made for vehicles with a Canbus system (search "canbus led"). Be forewarned though, those still may not work as our pcm/ canbus is very finicky. go to vLED's website as they are a much higher quality product then ebay & would probably refund you if they didn't work.

Just a 2 inch trailer clearance light. It's a two wire so I had to do some creative wiring to get both function out of it but works great
