Ok for the last few weeks I have been getting led bulbs for rear, and front turns/ parking lights. I got a lm-470 flasher from NAPA that works when the back leds are in and front are regular bulbs. But when I put the front leds in I get the fast flash problem. Is there a different flasher that works better?

Still havent got around to doing the hids. The install of the overall lights was pretty staight forward. Remove 6 bolts(3 per side, two headlight bolts and the two that hold the top of the grill down. Pull out the lights and unplug them. Plug in the new lights and put them back in.

Awesome lookin sound system you got there lep. Me myself not really into the subs only thing I really want for my neon is a nav dvd system. Cant wait to see your hids and angel eyes seeing Im getting some new modern projectors without the halos. Hopefully yours dont stop workin like mine did. I hate it when only one works out of the four or two out of the four work. Never all four .

I wanted to do an in dash setup, but where the headunit sits is a bad location for anything. And I have sunroof so can't do a overhead either.
