I want to replace my turn signals with LED bread boards. Just wondering what is involved with a project like this; I know the individual LEDs need to be in groups of a certain number, and that I'll need a certain value resistor but other than that I'm kind of in the dark about this whole process. Any advice and/or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!

What do you mean by LED breadboards? When you say that I'm instantly thinking of the typical breadboard I use to test electrical circuits. Something like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/400_points_breadboard.jpg

There are LED bulbs you can buy from manufacturers that are directly compatible with the OEM light assembly on the Cruze.

If you have no experience or knowledge with building an led array then I recommend against it.

For one, a thru hole LED does not have enough power to match the brightness of an incan bulb. Even if you grouped together two dozen. But that would take too much room in the front or rear (you didn't say).

High power smds would be the better option without needing nearly as many but they need a proper driver system. And they need decent aluminum heat sinking.

I suggest the easiest drop in solution. And it's the brightest on the market. VLEDS Triton V3. They contain 3 high powered Philips Luxeon Rebel PC Amber chips. And they sit behind a special optic lens that properly distributes the light in a 360° spread.

I have them in the front and rear and love them.

My pics don't quite capture the brightness of high mode.

Those VLEDS look promising. That's the problem I had with LEDs I tried before for my turn signals, the light wasn't distributed evenly enough and they were barely noticeable during the daytime. Would you mind taking a picture or brief demo video of the operation of the lights during the daytime?
