LED Light Replacement

Hey everyone, I've been looking through the forum trying to gather information on how to convert my tail lights to LED. I know that in order to get the turn signals to work I will need to use a new flasher relay or resistor. It seems to be easier to put in a new LED flasher relay but I am having trouble finding the one that will fit my 87 Trans Am. I am not intending to convert all of my lights to LED, just the rear lights and possibly the two front turn signals. The side markers will remain the same.

My questions: which one should I use? If there is a relay that will work for this, does anyone have a link to it or where can I buy one? Thanks!

Yeah the 87 looks a little different. Not sure how I would run the ground wire or if that relay would even work.

The OE flashers have no ground wires, I connected the LED flasher ground wires to the little screws you can see in the pic.

Do you have a pic of the flashers used on the 87?
