New LED lights...
So I'm a bit of a freak about the lightning on my truck having experimented with dozens of combos over the last 5 years to get something I truly liked the look of. I've finally came across a quality LED blinker replacement and I have to say, these bulbs are awesome. They're available in a slew of color combo's. I picked "white" for parking light with "amber" for the turn signal. (You could get all amber or all white as well) I've got them in a replica-2002+ turn signal enclosure with a white (instead of amber) reflector:

The white and amber ones I bought are legal. The basics are required to be met, and some states have additional varying laws on lightning, but the gist of it is,
For Turn Signals:
"Turn signals are required to blink on and off, or "flash", at a steady rate of between 60 and 120 blinks per minute. FMVSS (federal law) stipulates that AMBER is the only "legal" turn signal color (white is not legal, though tends to be looked over)."
For Parking Lamps:
"The front position lamps may emit white or amber light in North America; elsewhere in the world they must emit white light only."
So the white/amber combination I bought is 100% legal. Make sure to get an LED-resistance based flasher or somer resistor packs so that they do not blink too quickly. Wether it is an LED or Incandescent does not matter as long as it is bright enough. The link was posted up above, but here it is again:

Yep, white and amber...
For the rears I have the red-only ones...
Here's a movie of the turn signal:

I am pretty sure we just need the EP27 5-pin relay for our trucks.
