LED bulbs

Has anybody put LED bulbs in to replace their front and rear turn signals?????


If so, what kind and where to buy.

Wouldn't that require a power divider circuit in series with a LED turnsignal setup?

I think so... 'cause those turning signals are not LED base.

No but it would require a load circuit so the flasher would work properly.




RL-650 Load Resistor kit
6 Ohm, 50 Watt load resistor kit
Solves most LED turn signal problems
Connect one across each LED turn signal bulb to simulate filament bulbs
$ 4.95

You know, that faster flashing is a safety thing, it is supposed to show that the turn signal is out (one or more bulbs).

Also, with the LED replacements, they typically are unidirection vs an omnidirectional incandescent bulb, reducing the safety offered by the signals.

auto-shops sell light bulb replacements that are made of LED's, the circuitry is inside.

Just have to get the right part number...
