Default LED Indicator Lights

I'm curious if anyone had switched all of their indicator lights (F/R turn signals, stop lamps, DRL's, parking lamps, reverse lights) with LED bulbs? Did you use clear or red LED's for the stop lamps and rear turn signals? (I have 03+ tails so the turn signals are red). I also have clear front turn signals lenses, so would I need an amber bulb for these?

I'm thinking about replacing all of my external bulbs to LED with HID's for the low beams and Silverstar Ultra's for the high beams. Thanks!

I've changed all mine. I have red bulbs in the tails (also red lenses) and switchback LEDs up front (clear lenses)

My entire truck from headlights to taillights are either LED or HID. I don't have one regular bulb in my truck. I just bought some LED tails off ebay, they look better and are ten time brighter than any LED bulb you can buy. I also put a set of HID headlight in my reverse lights. I have amber LEDs for my turn signals and DRLs. For legality purposes you need to make sure you have amber turn signals when blinking. Switch backs as stated above will work find since one you put your turn signal on the switch to amber then when its off switch to white. You will also need to make sure you run inline resistors for your turn signals or else they will flash quickly like you have a bulb out.
