I recently replaced my tail lamps as well as my front turn signals with LED bulbs. I tried several bulbs from different sites, including superbrightleds.com and the ones I got from Autolumination.com are by far the best. They are the Eagle-Eye Tower bulbs and have one 3 watt LED facing out the end and 10 high power LEDs facing outward to fill the lens.

These bulbs are plenty bright and I believe them to actually be brighter than the standard incandescent ones. They fill the lens perfectly and look completely original. I did have to change the flasher to run all LEDs but that took like a minute to do. I could have kept the original one if I had incandescent bulbs up front but I don't. The video isn't to sharp but the lights are instant on/instant off.

The license plate one is from SuperBrightLEDs.com and is just a standard white LED bulb. They have a better selection of the smaller bulbs and they have a few that shoot 360 degrees like the one I bought.

How many Of those bulbs are in that assembly? 1 or 2? My deville only has one? Would you still suggest me get one? Is it that large of a difference?

Mine has two but I would highly recommend these bulbs. Even if it is just the one it will fill the entire lens nicely. Your DeVille should have two, most Caddys did.

I thought the same thing, but it truly only has one. I sware! I was Very surprised by that myself. Oh, Yeah, I meant to ask. If I change Just my front Parking lamps/Turn signals to LED's will I have to change the flasher to an Electronic Flasher instead of a thermal? What do ya think?

If you convert all the turn signals to LEDs you will need to change the flasher. I got mine from Superbrightleds.com for $12, a fully electronic ones. You have to be careful though because the "electronic" flashers you can buy at Autozone are not truly electronic, they still require some resistance (aka you would need a conventional bulb somewhere in the system). If you only change the back or only change the front you will not need a new flasher.

However, changing the flashers are not hard. GM puts the flashers right next to the steering column so all you have to do is remove the lower dash cover (usually about 5 screws that takes about a minute to do). The downside with the flasher I bought is that it does not make a clicking noise. It is perfectly silent, but I like it that way.
