2017 ILX need info on Rear turn signal LED bulbs...anybody?
Hi
I have a 2017 Aspec ILX and as You know Rear turn signal bulbs are regular incandescent. I would love to swap them out with nice LEDs but most certainly i would experience so called hyper flash.
Has anyone done this mod to their ILX? Maybe there is a bulb with some kind of resistor built in that works?
The bulb type is 7440 correct?
Thanks a bunch
i've done this mod as its looks really good. At the time in 2015/2016 I was selling a version of my own LED bulbs I had private labeled from over seas.
Since then i've long since sold out, but I can provide you with some information on what style of LEDs to look out for if your want to do the red rear turn signal mod.
Basically you want to avoid any type of (random light scattering) style of LED out there. Aka the ones that just have a bunch of diodes stuck on the sides shining in all directions.
The ones that work really well for our turn signals have a few LEDs that face backwards so the light shines back into the reflector nice and evenly. A easy to find option out there are the
You can find those in most auto stores, brightness is pretty good and about equal to a standard incandescent, accept its RED!
Other wise there are aftermarket options out there on Amazon/eBay that use XB-D Diodes from CREE or similarly small sized red chips, those were the ones I had private labeled and are about 2-3x brighter then the Philips Visions.
the '20W' style which had 4 XB-D LEDs on them used to be all over the internet a few years ago, but have now since gone into obscurity. But their 2nd generation versions are still available on AliExpress. I've purchased products through AliE before and everything comes through rather well, takes about 2 weeks, but the price is very fair.
As for hyper flashing, just pull back the trunk liner behind the turn signal location and tap in some load resistors back there, there is plenty of room.
