Check out your local parts house, or truck stop.  If not, go to Amazon.  Cheaper than what Lowrange is selling them for.  They work good, but make sure that if they don't come with the resistor built in, that you will need one to make them operate correctly.  Since LED takes very little amperage to work, the stock flashers won't make them work.  Especially for the turn signals.  Look for the ones with the rubber grommet.  Makes popping lights in and out easy!

What cheese said and also...

Get the same color based on your taillight housing.  If it is covered with a red lens on the housing get a red bulb/LED.  If white, get white.  If orange get orange.

I put a cheap white LED bulb in for my brake light (red housing) and they are not as bright as a regular/incandescent 'red' bulb when braking.  I haven't need to do turn signals or reverse lights yet, but I'll eventaully swap the brake lights with red ones.

Instead of adding resistors I used a different flasher instead. It only takes a few milliamps to trigger and snaps right into the factory socket. Do a little searching and the part number can be found.

I have 1 cheap set from Amazon like the 1's above and found that they were not very bright, I am very satisfied with the 1's I suggested and I am then supporting a 4x4 vendor

Replacing your Flasher relay is a good idea as well, you can find the exact relay you need on SuperbrightLEDs .com
