Help with LED Turn Signals - Installing Load Equalizers
Help with LED Turn Signals - Installing Load Equalizers
Ok. So i'm not much of an electrical expert so I need some help.
I recently installed White Led Turn signals in the front (1157), Red LED turn signals in the back (1156) and I replaced the amber indicater bulbs, with white LEDs (194).
But now my turn signals blink twice as fast. I know that the problem is that the electrical system thinks that the lights are out. The LED's use approx 1 watt, whereas the stock incandescent bulb burns about 25 watts or so.
I know I need to install resistors, but I'm confused.
There are 3 types I can get:
1. 15-12 Ohm Equalizer (25 watts)
2. 6 Ohm Equalizer (50 watts)
3. 3 Ohm Equalizer (50 Watts)
Which do I get? I'm so confused.
Also, how many do I need to install? Is it one per turn signal? Meaning I have to install four (One at each turn signal bulb)?
Or just two: one for the driver side, and one for the passenger side? ANd if so, where? In the front or back?
Someone please help me!!!

i would install one resistor at each new bulb you installed (so 4 total). use the 6 ohm/50W resistor. you can always put in a bigger or smaller one if it doesn't do the trick. here is a linke to an easy to install one if you need it.
