So I have always hated my turn signals being incandescent bulbs and not LED's. I just don't like the slow on/off.

I tried a simple fix to make my brake lights become my turn signals but it did not work so I decided to just upgrade the bulbs.

I used these bulbs with load resistors

Here is the outcome:
The first video shows the left (oem) vs the right (led).
The second vidwo shows they are just as bright or brighter than the oem bulbs.

 

I think this tread needs to be moved to the lighting section lol
Looks good nice job

 

Looks good.

Did you use red leds or white?

Any issue blowing fuses?

 

i like the led. looks better since it is a quick on and off.

 

I used red LEDs.

 

I'm gonig to leave it here for a couple days and then move it.

 

Were they hard to install? Those look great

 

nice job.

 

nice jorb

 

Damn, pretty cool! I'll have to try this later on.

 

looks great! you going to do the front turn signals too?

 

great i was thinking about switching to l.e.d's

can you explain how to use the load resistors ??
(how its attached )

or

is the load resitor in the l.e.d. ??

what do you think of using a white bulb ..??

thnx ttrank..

 

why are they blinking at different rates once you have the hazards on??

 

Because one is the bulb and one is the LED and the resistance is still a little different. Now that they are both LED's they flash at the same rate which is just like the oem (slower) rate.

 

Yes but I didn't get the same bulbs for the front and they are not bright enough so I'm getting different ones. My turn signals are tinted so I need the brightest bulbs I can find.
