i replaced my signal light bulb to LED. And now the signal light turns too fast.
Any one knows how to fix this

 

resistors.

Why not leave the regular bulb in there? It's bright enough and lasts years vs LED which can rust out in even under a year.

 

1. Because it's much cooler if light rapidly turns on and off.
2. Uses less power
3. You can put switchbacks.
4. LEDs can outlast the car if they are good quality - never need to change bulbs again

But overall, it's for looks.

 

Good quality...agreed. To note, my '05 is still using all the original bulbs. Of course now that I make that comment, I bet some will start burning out.

 

i'm still using OEM headlight bulbs from the factory in 2006

 

Even good quality LEDs will succumb to rust. In the interior, yes it will last a really long time, even the cheap ones. But externally, they just don't cut it unless it's OEM. All LEDs have solder joints which rust (especially if you have a seep in the housing or the gasket) vs bulb filaments which is time tested. I stopped using LEDs except for the trunk cargo, glovebox/armrest console, and buttons.

 

If you feel bored one day, try changing for the fresh pair. My were working fine, but I decided to clear headlights, and put new Osrams in there. There is a big difference.

Yep, that's probably their biggest problem. I'm using LEDs all around (there's no standard filament bulb left in my car). I expect the fog lights will be the first to go. Three months fine so far, but those things should last years.

 

I'm still running the 1st generation Triton V3 switchbacks which are still working after 4.5 years.
I also have VLEDs 7443 red turn signals for the rear which are 5 years old now.
Also been using their VX3 H11 LED fogs (2800 lumens) for going on 3 years.

They all have been good to me

 

you live in sunny texas. Many live where it rains and snows. And you definitely don't wanna stick your arm into wheel wells in the middle of winter.

 

I've recently noticed, since the new phone softwares allow night time screen mode where it reduces the amount of blue light due to it being damaging to the retinas, that the popular super white LED colors are blue and does infact hurt the eyes in the dark compared to the orange glow of filaments.

 

Yeah ok so you're saying Texas is only sunny and never rains or snows?

 

I'm pretty sure it's not as bad as the northern guys. Seems you guys get a few 1 day random sprinkles of flurries? Do you guys have to dig out of 4 foot of snow every other week and have a black car turned salt white?

 

You initially made a generalized comment stating "LED which can rust out in even under a year." You never said under what conditions.

I'm just saying they've been working just fine for me the last 4-5 years. Looks brighter and cleaner than oem bulbs too.

Feel bad for the guys that have to shovel snow everyday and deal with road salt. I would hate to work as a technician up north. Fuck that.
