86’ camaro converting to LED lights

I have recently got LED lights for my 86 RS (headlights,signal,brake, reverse) the more major lights. I have yet to install them as I have yet to get the car out of storage. My only thing i came to think about after is if there anything I should look out for or be concerned about when switching certain bulbs to LED like the signal bulbs or anything or should everything be okay? None of the LED’s I purchased are multi coloured either. They are all a solid colour corresponding to their location/function. I have come to discover these cars can be picky on somethings and I just want advice or guidance

(I realize this could be a dumb question I’m asking and I’m overthinking but i just want advice from folks who’ve bern around these cars longer then me as l’m only 17 and want to learn the most I can about 3rd gens)

You'll need an electronic flashers for the signal and emergency lights. OE flashers wont work on LEDs.

Thank you, where would I be able to find those/do I need a specific kind and how would also go about installing them. Sorry to sound annoying.

Installs just like stock part. You can find them on ebay, amazon, others. There is a thread on the site about them.
