I have replaced the front flashers with these LEDs from Ebay:

I also changed the flashermodule to one that can handle LED lights, just too make sure. I used this two prone type:

everything works great, the only problem I seem to have is that when I turn on the headlights, the signal indicators on the dashboard also come on, because the flashers and sidemarkers are lit.

Anybody have experience with this? I dont think it can hurt and don't mind, but just want to make sure and share this info!

ps. I never understood the complicated electrical schematic of the sidemarkers and flashers, because they seem to share the ground with the headlights through some strange system, I dont understand.
