Every bulb in my '91 is now an LED, except for the front park/turn signals which I have not replaced for the reason Jeff mentioned. I assume a digital flasher (with the ground lead embedded) inserted in the four-way flasher would solve that problem, but I have yet to try it since the four-way flasher is so difficult to access. When I installed Corvette HID's replacement LED tail lights, I had to use an electronic flasher in the signal light flasher (which is much easier to access that the four-way flasher) to allow the signal lights to function properly, but that alone would not prevent the signal lights/flashers from operating erratically when I tried LEDs in the front.
