I currently have green turn signals and was looking to make my back up lights gree also, while looking for the 1156 bulb i came across the 1157 and 1156 LED's, which would look better, for the purpose of turn signals and back up lights? If i went with the LED's would they burn out my sockets or anything like that? please let me know.

THanks,
Jason

LED's would work good for your turn signals and reverse lights. they draw less current than normal bulbs do so u odn't have to worry about burning them out. the downside to the is that light from an LED only goes in one direction and not spread out like a regular bulb so from an angle, it won't seem as bright. i might suggest getting hyperwhites and then putting on a green gel cap over them...
