Yes, I have leds for my brake lights and side markers. I plan on doing the reverse and turn signals sometime, just haven't gotten around to doing them. You will have to wire in resistors for the turn signals but all the other ones are plug and play. I got my bulbs from here https://www.superbrightleds.com/

Ok cool that's actually what I thought might need to be done! I just wanted to make sure I'm not one of those dumb ricers who tint the lights using the stock bulbs which you can't see in even the dark. Mostly cause she's an all season car specially our heavy snows. Now time to save for a full replacement lol then tints!

These are the bulbs I got, my tail lights aren't tinted, but these bulb are pretty bright. When its dark out and you hit the brakes, you can see the street signs behind you light up, even the ones that are a ways back...
