So far I've gotten the license plate LEDs, side markers, and my Hids are white. I'm just missing the correct LED size for the front bumper signal lights, just ordered the crystal clear side and front signal lights so I could match everything, was hoping someone would know or someone who has them on already.

Replacing your turn signals with LEDs will cause them to blink at twice the speed.
I believe you need resistors to remedy this issue, but I could be wrong.

Resistors is one way or you can get a relay designed to work with LEDs, personally if there's a relay for your application that's what I'd do. Also here's the aforementioned sticky: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=71851&hl=

better to fix it at the relay flasher than splicing those things in to all four corners which is a dirtier job.

White side marker lights are illegal, just a heads up.

Yes, use a heavy duty electronic flasher without bulb out warning and your LED's will all flash normally without any nasty load resistors. I think an EP35 is what you need to use.

They are blinking twice as fast now but still blink. I'll look into resistors. Thanks!

I think in AZ it's legal if it's white, as long as their brighter and people can see you. I see Hondas here driving with all purple/yellow lamps n fogs lol.

As for EP35, looks a lot easier to do I'll go that route. $12.47 on Amazon and it says it fits, thanks!

No, lighting standards are federal law, not state law. Imagine how confusing it would be if there were 50 different sets of lighting standards and you had to drive across the country or lived on the border of a state with different lighting regulations. Keep the side markers amber/yellow in light color. The lamp housing can be any color as long as it lights amber/yellow for a front side marker and red for a rear side marker. States may have and enforce their own laws but they cannot take precedence over federal regulations/laws, so no blue/green anywhere and no red in the front. rear can only have amber, red, or white, front can only have white, amber, or yellow. It makes it easier to tell which way a car is pointed and if it's an emergency vehicle or not.

Yes, because Honda owners are the benchmark of good modding.

I have an EP35 relay installed in my '97 GT. It blinks about 20bpms faster than the stock relay.
