The first upgrade I did to my FC was to put relays for the rear turn signals 
and running lights.  Requires a fuse and a electronic flasher also.

>>Hey folks,
>>
>>  Has anybody tried out any of the LED bulb replacements for the 1157s 
>>used in our trucks?
>>  I tried some from superbrightleds.com and they are not as bright as the 
>>1157 standard bulbs.
>>  I had my wife stand back there while I cycled all the rear light 
>>functions and then asked her which side looked better. She chose the 1157s 
>>as I did. The LED units turn on quicker,  but are not as bright. These 
>>were red ,24 LED units, wide angle.
