LED Turn Signals

LED Turn Signals
Hey guys. So I searched around for LED blinkers (more specifically for the tail lights) and I've found a lot of useful DIY's and such, but noticed the process overall is more complicated than simply replacing the lights with LEDs. Does anyone know if there is a "kit" available that anyone has put together with the necessary additives? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Do you have a link for these. Post and pics and vids when you are done.

Put them in today, I'll post pics and a vid or two on how they look. Unfortunately, looks like the resistor isn't as I was originally hoping. When I turn on the hazards, the blink at a normal speed; however, when I turn on just the turn signal, it blinks very quickly.
To be honest, it looks absolutely great. If you can get past the fast blinking, it's awesome. I'm keeping them, looks great (believe me, makes a world of a difference in look, nice and crisp lighting), took 15 minutes to install, and only cost me $25! I'll post vids and such tonight when it gets dark.

I just put in some LED bulbs for the front turn signals and have that same issue. The fast blink kind of annoys me cause it reminds me of so many terrible civics I saw during high school. I do really like the light it puts out though so I might be able to chalk it up and use the signals at double speed.

You need to add the resistor to the wires. The resistors that are installed in the LED's are so they dont burn up with your cars voltage. Go to any auto store and pick up a pack of 2 one for each side and the easiest place to put them is on the tail lights. One wire goes to the turn wire the other to a ground wire. That should fix your issue. The resistor that they put in the LED itself it for the voltage going to the LED,will not affect your blinker relay at all. Had to do this when I added LED turns to the front of my truck. Hope that helps.

Hmm that's interesting, sounds a lot easier than a lot of threads make it out to be. Might have to make my way down to my local Autozone or O'Reilly's tomorrow and see what they have.

Unless infiniti did some crazy ish with there wiring it should be no different then my chevy. I personally have not done this yet to my car so i have not tried this, but there should be no difference that would make this not work. As with anything thing you do just double check everything and be careful.
