    Has anyone found LED bulbs that are compatible with the OEM housing? I swapped out my 3rd brake light and both rear blinkers for LEDs and love the crisp on-off look. I realized earlier today my main brake lights weren't illuminating at all when I pressed on the brake so I'm lucky I didn't get pulled over. I purchased Sylvania 3157R's from AutoZone thinking it would be a sure match from the listed 3157 in the manual.. although it does read 3157KX to be exact.

    Not interested in buying aftermarket housing, just want the crisp LED look on all lights on the rear end!

    Believe you need ck socket compatible bulbs, I had same issue with the Sylvania ZEVO led bulbs, I bought me some that the brake lights work but parking lights don't, flipped em parking works not brake, spoke with Sylvania and they send me ck socket bulbs that are not on the shelves yet

    @ARamirez73 thanks for the tip - I'll give that a try. For anyone else who's interested, I did find Headlight Revolution may have a kit for about $59. Waiting to hear back from them, hopefully today. Will post once I hear more info about HLR and Sylvania.

    I swapped all the exterior bulbs to LED's from V-Led's. No problems at all everything was plug and play.

    Thanks @astro-jason. I went with GTR lighting 3157 LED'S purchased through Headlight revolution. $68 with shipping which is more than I wanted to pay considering I paid $20 for LED blinkers, & $15 for the resistors. Small price to pay I guess in the grand scheme. I'm more interested in maintaining the OEM look rather than buying all new housings etc (sans the leveling kit I bought) so I'm happy at the end of the day.
