LED Lighting, cannot find what I'm looking for!
I've been searching for hours trying to get a straight answer on bulb codes for the 370, but I can't. Trying to order led's for an all around swap on my 2011. I understand that the parking lights, map lights, trunk light, and license plate lights are all the same, just different wattages (correct me if I'm wrong). What I don't understand, is the difference between the front and rear turn signals. I'm ordering all from v-leds, because I want to ensure all my bulbs are going to be the same color and quality. On the Sylvania guide, it says the rears are 7440A, and the fronts are 7444NA.
These are the bulbs I'm looking at. AMBER PLATINUM 21 LED BLINKER TURN SIGNAL BULBS 7443 7444 7440 7443NA | 1 PAIR - 7443 - 7440 LED - Shop Bulb # I don't even see an option for 7444NA. Are these compatible anyways? Do our cars use the standard or ck type base? If I'm replacing ALL FOUR turn signal bulbs, do I need 6ohm resistors or 3ohm resistors? If it's 3ohm, where do I buy these? V-leds only sells 6ohm |

I didnt read the whole thing
But i ordered a full set of bright leds from ijdmtoy.com I just input the car and bought the set. Came with map lights (boards not bulbs)trunk light (bulb) , the vanity mirror mini bulbs in led, then the license plate lights are 921 same as the marker lights Headlights are D2S but search the forum u will have problems with them not coming on or staying on if u dont buy $100+ bulbs And the turn signals for front and back are 7440 and 7440A U can always google headlight bulb replacement and input the vehicle in the sylvania website to give u all the sizes Good luck |

I pretty much figured everything out on my own. The front parking lights (to which you are referencing) are 194-168-158 compatible, along with all of the interior bulbs (except the mirror vanity bulb) and license plate bulbs. All turn signals are compatible with the link I included in my original post. I found that the rear turn signals do not need load resistors, but the fronts do.

I just don't get the whole "Let's do LED's and old dingy style bulbs on the same car" thing. Guess the corporate thinking is "Look at the money we saved!", but everyone else thinks "Yeah, but that looks tacky!"
