I hate that the indicators are the only bulbs on my entire car that are currently not LED, front or rear. Are there any drop-in replacements yet so I don't have to worry about rigging up a bunch of resistors to artificially increase the load? They're both 21W 7443NA bulbs front and rear.

Can't help on the exteriors cause I don't plan on touching mine until I have to really but I swapped the interior ones. Made a huge difference in "feel" inside the car.
When the exteriors are out, or I get bored, I was thinking chrome dipped standard bulbs to avoid hyper flashing or having to deal with resistors. Plus I find blinkers in incandescent bulbs to be easier on the eyes (my own personal preference).

I just prefer the cleaner on-off rather than "warm-up, on, cool-down, off" of incandescents.

Ya got ya, I prefer the warm-up cool-down. Why I said it was my personal preference. I change the interiors to get that whiter look instead of the yellowy look. Again, my personal preference.
I'm interested in what you end up with though, 'cause it may change my mind LOL.
I said I wanted chrome dipped to make the housing look all clear, similar to how LEDs would look when off - no orange globe in the middle.

I will definitely try to remember to take some before, during, and after photos/videos.

There's also www.superbrightleds.com. I wouldn't get hung up on putting load resistors in, it's not that big of a deal. Unfortunately, they're a necessarily evil, that's just the physics of it.

I think it's www.extremebrightleds.com that's a local Toronto eBay vendor

Looking at his pictures, I wouldn't trust those to be "extremely bright" And anyone that sells purple and green hid's doesn't really care about performance, just out to make a buck.
Superbrightleds is a good reliable option, but the minimum $15 usd shipping hurts.
I'm sure there's other local suppliers :cool
