USA LED's for tail lights '06 Camry

Hello everyone!

I am looking into installing some LED lights to my tail lights, I noticed that the original assembly for the bulb is tilted, like looking to the sides (brake and tail or the ones on the red strip), also, there's like a small yellowish cover located on top where the turn signal lights belong ( I'm intending to replace those with red LED's), my questions are these:

1. How can I take out that yellow thing from lens?
2. What if I swap the tail and brake lights, will it look nice? Or do I need to get extra parts?
3. Has someone done it already? Can you please show me pics? you can send them to fbjr87@live.com

Thanks.

tail and brake lights cannot be swapped, they are different bulbs with different size holes; i would get 360 degree type LED bulbs for the brake lights

So I replaced the turning signals for red LEDs but flash really fast when I use them, I tried putting the hazard light on and they flash normally. What should I do?

You need load resistors or a flasher module. One or the other, not both.
