@Meir Yes, the front turn signals are still halogen, but I plan on swapping them soon.

@lkchris Yes, the polarity is reversed. There are plenty of people who have run into this while trying to swap leds into a Porsche. Some have opted to re-wire the connector to fix this. Here's an example on this forum:
LED bulbs and DEPO lights.

Thanks.
Reason for asking is me wondering if the relay will " behave" with 4 LED bulbs.
The link to the other thread you posted looks familiar
I ended up reversing polarity on the bulbs, and using resistors.
The relay I had at the time, didn't work for me.

I read somewhere that the brake LEDs do not allow to the cruise control to work properly due to the voltage being much lower and the CC not picking it up when you brake.
