Why no LED rear turn signals?

Actually, i do need the load resistors. They look perfect when the hazards are on but signaling left or right will make the blinkers flash rapidly. I ordered the bulbs and load resistor from
www.superbrightleds.com
The load resistor should be in next week and I will let you know if that rectified the problem.

cnugs127 - Any chance you can take a vid of brake plus turn signal? I'd be interested to see how they look together.

Oh no! I've heard that superbrightleds tend to die in a relatively short amount of time (0 to 2 months). Hopefully they have fixed those problems. I'd hate to hear of another G owner getting burned.

You might need to change the flasher relay or install a load resistor in line with the LED bulbs though - the LED does not have the same load as a normal bulb so it might flash faster

I can testify to this. I bought some for my license lamps, and they lasted about 4 months.

Man those look sick! I'm kinda scared about buying LED's from Super since I've also heard them not lasting very long + harsh shipping rate to Canada.

also, did you get the high power LEDs or just the normal ones?

I replaced my license plate bulbs with these 194/168 LED lights from V-LEDS.COM.

I changed out my interior and license plate lights with 194 from the same place I got the taillights from. haven't had any problems yet.
