Blinker Question

-Alero- · 12-01-2004, 09:22 PM

ok since you all know i have LED's for my front blinkers, this causes alot less power usage so my blinkers are blinking machine's! so i was wondering if i took the fuse out for my blinker and replaced it with a lower amp fuse, would my blinkers slow back down to normal? cause i was thinking of replacing the tail blinkers with led's and god knows how fast they will blink after that.

know the fuse has relatively nothing to with how much juice the bulbs are pulling.........if it was pulling too much thats when the fuse steps in, the only thing you can basically do which pretty much kills a major point of leds is add a resistor inline with the wire for the specified led and it will simulate a full load and will bring it back to normal blink rate, but adding that resistor if im not mistaken eliminates the "current" you were saving from the LED's.........although i like led's, having them in the turn signal locations seems like too much of a pain......

what do you think it would be like with front and rear LED's for blinkers?

did you evern see that simpsons episode where they all went into seizures lol........when you go to turn all hell will break lose lol..........are you setting service vehicle soon light?? and yes it will get about twice as bad if you were to change the rear ones.......would be very annoying to not only other drivers but to yourself, youd hear that clicking noise 32498329874 times a minute.........if you are determined for LED's, you need the resistors to go inline with each bulb you change, they have em on ebay......

f it im not into sodering wires, cause i usually mess stuff up. well i guess i'll stick with just the front LED's since the tails will kill someone :rolleyes:
