I would like to replace the turn signal bulbs with LED in my S model. In the manual it says that the front and rear use two different types of bulbs for the turn signals. Can someone post a link of the ones they bought for the front and the rear? I am having a hard time finding a brand that makes both bulb types. Thanks

Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

From GTR Lighting.com:
"What color LED bulb should I use?
Mar 9th 2017
If you are using an LED bulb behind a red or amber lens, it's a good idea to match the color of the lens with the color of the LED bulb. If you use a white lens behind a red lens, you might end up with pink light output.
When looking at replacing your stock automotive halogen/incandescent light bulbs with a new LED product it’s important to know the differences as to how the new light bulb will act in the housing you are going to place it in.
This infographic shows how LED bulbs produce light through a red lens.
For best results the LED color should be the same as the lens color or if bulb is behind a clear lens, use the appropriate color for turn and brake light functions. As an example: a red lens will filter out all but the red portion of the light so if the light is all red, none or very little light will be blocked by the lens. The light from a White LED contains very little light in the red portion of the visible spectrum so most of the light would be filtered out by a red lens."
I've tried it, and it seems to be true.
I stand corrected.
