I ordered a set of clear corners for my 02 Dak R/T, but they don't come with the bulbs. What bulbs should I get? I kind of wanted to get the LED amber bulbs, but im not sure how much a good set of LED amber bulbs compared to regs will cost me. Also, is there wiring involved when going to a pair of LED lights? On my old Sierra I put a pair of red LED lights on it for my tail lights, and they blinked a lot faster than normal. I found out some saudering and wiring was required to fix it, and I'm definately not the one to be messing with any kind of wiring. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don't get LED's, I tried them on my clears and looked like @ss. Go to eBay and buy Eurodesigns hyper white bulbs for the headlights, fogs, and corners. They cost like $3 each. I absolutely love them, they are bright white with a slight blue hint to them, not yellow like your stockers, its as close as you can get to HID's without spending hundreds of dollars.
The corners are a 3157 bulb.

uh... don't I need amber colored bulbs for the corners in order to stay street legal? I dont want a hyper white turn signal, just an amber one. But hyperwhite bulbs for the headlights and fogs sounds cool.

Headlights are measured in Watts like all other light bulbs. The stock 9007 bulb is 55W low beam and 65W high beam. Kelvin is just a measurement of temperature which determines the colour of the light. If stock is 3200K then a 4000K bulb is just a whiter coloured light. Putting in a higher K bulb will never hurt anything as long as its the same wattage. If you go with a higher wattage then you run into problems with excess heat and things might start melting.
