LEDs

I just ordered LEDs for my turn signals and side lights and read this: Q: Turn signal issues with LED bulbs A: LED brake/tail lamps will not flash with thermal flasher units due to their extremely low current draw. These installations will require an electronic flasher unit, available on ebay or at any auto parts store. Try to find flashers designed to work with LED bulbs, they will say "LED compatible". Often HEAVY DUTY flashers will also work with LED bulbs. Another fix is the installation of Load Resistors which are wired across (in parallel with) the turn signal bulbs to simulate the load of a standard filament bulb. Has anyone had to do this with a '96 2.5TL?

This has been done. I believe that if you just buy the load resistor, sometimes called "turn signal fix" you should be fine. Where did you end up buying your LEDs from?

Hopefully you got some decent ones and not POS. If they are bad they will start flicking on you.

So the white is for the parking/corner and so wheres the amber going? When you say gauges you mean the indigo gauges?

The amber is going in the turn signals. Since I got the clear bumper lenses. The gauges are those reverse glow ones.
