I use a lot of Superbright LEDs, they work.

In a pinch, I got some Sylvania 1157s, a little expensive, but they work great, let's see how long they last.

In my state, last year in Sept they banned any 'colored' lights on the outside of the car which are not white, red, or amber. Also banned any Xeon or HID that have a 'blue' tint. Even cars that came with them OE. As people get rejected during state inspection, sure there will be some backlash, but will see how that plays out.

I had blue halos on the GTO, had to remove. Also had a blue license plate bulb, had to remove that as well. Since they 'saw' the halos, I couldn't just unplug them, they said if it is there it has to work. Needless to say, won't going back to that station for an inspection again.

One thing to note, when buying an H4 type headlight housing, be aware of the refraction lenses on them. Some can throw the light in unusable directions. Same with bulbs, look for ones that are 360 degree light patterns. Also, it may be good to look for ones that are adjustable, in case your housing don't throw the light correctly.

There's no downside to swapping your flashers with LED compatible ones, and they are not expensive. Many bulbs now though are compatible with all flashers, but not many advertise that, so can be a little of a crap-shoot.
