incandescent bulb in turn signals?

Can I replace the front turn signals with LED ones, will they work, or do I have to have all 4 the same?

Thanks for your answers.

    The 2 previous posters are correct and you will need to do one or the other, meaning install either all LED replacement bulbs or install an electronic flasher. Note that the flasher works by the amount of resistance in an incandescent bulb and normal LED lamps do not use as much current and will not cause a 'regular' flasher to flash. If you use only one LED replacement bulb it may be brighter than your incandescent bulb and look funky.

    You would need an LED replacement bulb that draws the same current as a filament bulb, or the flasher will not work correctly.

    You will have to change the flasher to an electronic one or it may flash to fast or not at all.
