signal lights led's ?

do you need a load resistor to convert the stock bulbs for the signals to led's?

This is where the resistors go. You clamp the black and green and make sure the connections good.

Did you guys get yours at dt-autotech on ebay?

I've been wanting to do this but never gotten to it. It seems like the LED bulbs comes with the resistors too correct? And all that's needed to do is to wire up the resistors.

Yea I just left it hanging. Not too many places to bolt it to in the area around the headlights. Plus their small so not much room to stretch either. Although I'm sure you could find a spot to bolt or zip tie it to I was just lazy to look lol. And yea you're right feijai all you need to do is wire up the resistors. Bulb is plug n play its really easy takes like 10 mins with the front bumper off. I got mine from a member/homie on here 'kidduce'. He helped me with instructions which made it 10x easier. And it looks sick as fuck haha. Pics don't do it justice but you get the idea I'm sure. Hope this helps.

Forget the resistor, there is no reason to cut into the wires imo . The turn signal flasher is what I'm assuming a relay that makes your turn signal blink . You swap out the OEM honda one and put in one from autozone its labeled TE34 i believe. Its located on the drivers side uder the steering wheel to the left, but not the fuse box. I can take some pics and post for you guys if you want. I bought resistors and everything but than found this out and was like well that's easy enough .

^ you don't have to cut any wires so idk what you're talking about lol. All you do is clamp the resistor onto the current wires like I explained earlier which are the green and black and you're good. No cutting necessary. No need to make it complicated.

this looks like an easier alternative to resistors, and possibly cheaper?

I paid 16 for the resistors I never used and 12 for the turn signal fuse thing. So yeah cheaper an much easier .

This is cool. Does 1 flasher work for the front and rear switchbacks? Did I miss that in the thread?

Does the flasher cause any warnings like "light out" or something similar? Does it fix the issue when replacing the brake lights to leds?
