TSX LED Flasher

Does anyone know if we can install an LED flasher for our front & rear turn signals? Am asking because everyone seems to have gone the load resistor route. I think it would be cleaner to have the LED flasher instead of the load resistors.

iirc, some people tried very hard a while ago to find an LED flasher that would work in the TSX, but couldn't find a compatible part. If you do find one, please post up.

I've searched high and low to no avail. I've replaced all the exterior bulbs on my car with except for turn signals due to the lack of an LED flasher. Right now I just don't think there's a compatible flasher out there. It's really a shame because I don't like the load resistor route. If anyone knows of one, please speak up.

After consulting with Reach, I was at first reluctant to install load resistors.

However, after I did the LED conversion on my turn signals using the load resistors, it is VERY easy, clean, and reliable.

The resistor does get warm but since they get warm only when the signals are on, its not a concern at all.

Now, I am very satisfied with the instant on-off look.

The turn signal is only the orange circle inside of the headlights? Or am I confused? I want to replace the bulb to the outermost to the fenders. I want to change it to a white LED bulb.

I dont see the point of getting white led for your sidemarker because you dont have the clear reflector as jdm does. I dont think its going to make any differences..

If that's all he wants to do, he does not need load resistors. You can just snap in those LEDs no problem.

I actually just received my 06 JDM headlights , I want to put a white LED at the side marker so I will have that clean JDM look. I will be putting them on pretty soon. As soon I get the clear bra I ordered for them and also the white LED bulb.

I would never put Blue, that would look to ricy, plus getting pulled over. White is the way to go for that clean look I am just wondering for those people that have gotten the 06 JDM headlights what type of LED bulb have they purchased.
