Yes Another LED Thread

Ok, before I piss anyone off I justwant to say thanks to everyone who is helping me with the few mods that I have done to my car. Well I was wanting to run LEDs in my turn signals but I wanted to know if I have to run a load resistor. I've been noticing different load rating on different load resistors. Should I be looking for an amount of watts or ohms.

One last thing. Do you think that white would look cool in the stock headlights or should I stick to amber.

Have you tried searching for led* turn signal*? The asterisk wildcard will help broaden your search a bit.

If I remember correctly, running LED turn signals require a load resistor. You may also wish to check out the 3G TL Garage. Good luck!

Look at the two vids on post number six. I really like the turn signals that change from white to amber. Who ever did this is a genius. And yes I believe you do have to run a load resistor because the leds wont pull enough curent. Not sure though. Maybe it has something to do with the amount of ohms it produces.
