    Hey all!
    My front turn signals need replaced. The sockets are shot.
    I am looking for LED replacements but I haven't been able to locate one. Has anyone used LEDS for this? I am looking for the same diameter as the originals.

    Thanks - Tim

    I've never seen LED lights that would be even close to the stock turn signals, and I buy a fair number of oddball lights for our vehicles at work. You might want to look at using some of the smaller LED clearance lamps and somehow mate the new lamp with the old housing. Here is a shot of one that might work with a bit of masssaging:

    <edit> You might also try grafting a new pigtail & socket into the old housing and simply using 1157-style LED bulbs...

    Does yours have the small indicators or the larger ones? I have seen 2 CJ7's with the 4" round amber LED lights as front indicators.
