Hi

Your rear signals, tails and brake lights are listed as follows:

Rear turn signal
7507

Tail light
5007 = Small head Ba15s
7528 = 1157


Stop light
7528 = 1157

The 1157 bulbs and the 7507 bulbs are on this page of our website here:

http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm

In the 7507, the only led we make is the amber color one. It is down near the bottom of that page link

With leds you want to match the led color to the lens color. The 7507 bulbs are usually signal bulbs, so amber is the most frequently needed choice.

The small head Ba15s bulbs are on the website here:

http://autolumination.com/otherleds.htm

They are about halfway down that page.

With many flashers, leds will cause the turns signals to flash rapidly, or not flash at all.
If using leds for turn signal applications, or in vehicles with bulb-out warning systems, like Mercedes, BMW and others, you may need to add load equalizers.

Use two 6 ohm equalizers for two front, or two rear led turn signal bulbs.

If you have led turn signal bulbs in the front and rear (4 led turn signal bubs total), use two 3 ohm.

Place one load equalizer on each side. For turn signal led bulbs, the equalizer must be spliced across the - ground wire and the + turn signal wire feeding each led bulb.

More details on load equalizers can be found at:

if I had LEDs tails I don't think I would give a shit about hearing a beep or two when I started up my car because a bulb out.

So LED taillights can be done? If so, how difficult would it be?

I think this is just a guide to replace the stock bulbs with led bulbs.

that it is, and putting regular style leds in any tail light will look like shit because our lenses are made for incandescent bulbs so the light will be dimmer and not look as good.

1156 single filaments are what are in the tail lights now for all the bulbs in the cluster. 1157's are dual filament and will not fit. also due to our tail light design and the fact that these leds put out less lumens. they wont be as bright as incandescent bulbs will be. Leds will just be white in color, and flash on and off instantly, unlike incandescents which seem to fade in and out of illumination.
