Default LED Blinkers & Indicators for headlights?

I have searched the forum and the internet but have failed to get a straight answer on how to properly install LED's in place of the blinkers and indicators. Can anyone confirm these part #'s? I looked at Sylvania website and it looks like 7440 but these lights look completely different in the headlights.

Also, do you need to have the load resistors on each LED? If so

Pic for reference....

Thanks!

The turn signal bulb in the reference picture looks like a stealth bulb...if that's what you mean by they look different.

Are you looking for something like this?

Yep... Just trying to confirm the part #'s and if you have to use the load resistors on each one. Are the top and bottom the same bulb?

The top is the 7440, I just sold my set of Stealth bulbs; for reference:


The parking lights are a 168 wedge bulb. If you're looking for a LED replacement for those check with this guy:

I bought 5 bulbs from him for my parking/license plate/trunk.

You can also get the #168 wedge leds at Advance Auto Parts.

you should be able to find replacements @ www.superbriteleds.com .

that's where i got my running lights and they're great. plug and play for my 06 bi-xenons. Not sure if the older lights need different ones or not.

you gotta run a load resistor for every place you use an LED to replace a turn signal light bulb, or get used to a crazy fast blink rate. I didn't put in load resistors with my LEDs. Drives my GF crazy.

here you go for the parking lights:
https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-an...ghts-pics.html

pics are overly exaggerated on the actual brightness. It was really difficult trying to take those shots. Best analogy to the actual look and brightness would be to the Audi LEDs in the headlights, maybe a tad bit brighter.

Did anyone find that when using the bright white leds that you lose the definition of your projector's?

Suggestions on what looks best blue/yellow or amber?
