Turn signals and reverse lights LED replacements?
I have a 97 honda civic ex coupe. I am wondering if I can get a little help with locating led lights as a direct replacement for the stock bulbs. Are they just a direct install?
I need the following
1) headlight turn signals
2) tail light turn signals
3) tail light reverse light.
4) rear license plate light.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Turn signals and reverse lights LED replacements?
Thanks very much notaracist. I read more into the hyper flashing issues that it could have. So I initially planned on getting an electric flasher, but then I'm finding conflicting information about possibly blowing fuses if I don't add the resisters to the blinkers. Which makes me nervous. I understand that if you pump too much through a fuse, then you blow it so how in the hell are people saying that they blew a fuse after changing out to LEDs that have a smaller wattage?
My plan as of right now is to buy the right size/color LEDs, and replace the stock flasher with an electric one (or so I have read). I still have to research which one is best/compatible.
I also plan on installing fog lights. I'm pretty sure they are non-led cheapies.
Additionally I purchased those little DIY behind the mirror turn signals. I'm wondering where to tie those in. I'm guessing the rear turn signals?
Thanks again and I look forward to more relevant feedback!

Led's draw far less current than the bulbs you'll be replacing. You will not blow any fuses due to that.
People blowing fuses are either installing the wrong bulbs which are shorting the circuit or installing the resistors wrong.

Walmart recently started carrying Pilot Automotive LEDs in popular sizes like 168, 1156, 1157, etc. Check there for the LED equivalents of your bulbs.
