Default Quick response LED side marker bulbs?

Hey guys, I'm looking for those LED side marker/indicator/blinker/turn signal bulbs that have really quick response times/on-off times. I'm just having a little trouble finding the exact thing I'm looking for. Are there universal LEDs that fit into most cars or is it model-specific? I'm actually looking for LED side markers for a 99-00 Civic hatch, but can't seem to find anything. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Here's an example of what I'm after, on a Porsche 928:


Thanks

LED's by nature have a very fast on/off time. Any bulb you purchase will appear to be instant on, unless there's some type of additional circuitry added (doubtful) which causes it to mimic an incandescent.

According to Sylvania's bulb guide, it looks like the 99-00 Civic uses an 1157 (dual filament) in the turn signals. Chances are, any 1157 LED bulb will support dual brightness. Just search google for that term and you should be in good shape.

Would this be a correct guide to be referring to?

You're going to need them with built in resistors which I make and am a HT sponsor! Shoot me a pm and ill give you free shipping and a free license plate led as well!!

What do you mean, rfelix? Do I not need resistors if the LEDs are 12v?

The resistors are there so the turn signals won't hyper flash since the flasher relay detects a lower current from the LEDs thinking theres a bulb out. I personally think the load resistors are a waste of money and you're better off with a proper flasher relay designed for LEDs instead.

What he said, also if you buy an led for a colored lens make sure it is the same color as your lens to get the brightest effect.
