You can change them out with LED bulbs, but you'll need a resistor or the corrective circuitry to prevent them from flashing hyper-fast. Cars will sense the lack of resistance that a normal light bulb gives. When you blow a turn signal, they flicker really fast.

Yeah, I forgot to order it and my shit sounds like a watch ticking. I get all my stuff from superbrightleds.com but Oznium is a supporter. The relay you want is the CF18 something or other, it's at the bottom of the dropdown under relays (pg 2 of car bulbs)
Here's a breakdown to help. These are standard bulbs but at least you have the sizes. I was trying to find you a good link, I'll keep trying...
Hi Beams are 9005's...60W, Halogen
Low Beams are 9006's...51W, Halogen
Front Turn signals are 7440's...21W, Amber Wedge Bulb
Parking lights are 194's...5W, Wedge Bulb
Front Side Markers are 194's...5W, Wedge Bulb
Brake/Tail/Rear Side Markers are 7443's...21/5W, Wedge Bulb
Rear Turn signals are 7440's...21W, Wedge Bulb
Reverse lights are 921's...18W, 5W, Wedge Bulb
Liscence Plate lights are 168's...5W, Wedge Bulb
Interior Map lights (Front) are 194's...5W, Wedge Bulb

Will, Flecs has an xB though :P
Some of the lights are the same, I think - the 7440's are the ones you need.
