going total led on tail lights.
 

i want to go total leds on my tail lights.

i have the brake lights led already.

are the two little ones on the edges 194's?

what are the turn signal and backup lights?

TIA.

been working on the same "on-going" project myself. The corner lights are 194s. I'm not exactly sure what size the long bulb is for the backups, but without a doubt, 194s can fit in them. I bought some 12-LED HyperWhite 194s for them. And the turns are 3157, same as the tails. But fair warning, if you place LEDs in the turn signals, they are going to blink "annoyingly" fast, so buy one of the kits to regulate:


One LOAD Resistor is required for each turn signal bulb

6 Ohm, 50 Watt resistors can be connected across the turn signal bulbs to simulate the load of a regular filament bulb (2 Amp load). This will solve LED related turn signal problems such as hyper flashing or burnt out bulb indications. Resistor measures 1.96L x .64W x .60H inches, leads are 12 inches long.
Kit Includes gel filled moisture resistant splice taps.

go to radio shack they are like $2

^hahaha... i just posted a pic of those not too long ago. i think they are closer to 4(after tax). and if your local one doesn't have them, tell them to order you some "with no shipping".. called "direct2U"

the Catalog is 274.0120

thats your pic from your post. I have 2 of them that i don't need if any one is interested

$5 shipped

i noticed... that didn't load when i posted my last one though... hmmm :glare:

You're canceling out the energy saving benefit of having LEDs with that resistor. You're better off changing the flasher to one that isn't dependent on load.

i didnt do my leds for any energy saving

i doubt they are doing this to save energy.
how bout cause it looks cool
eff it if you want it to work right, get the thing

Well, when i swap out to LEDs I'm going to get a flasher with an adjustable rate to it, or possibly a strobe type flasher. I don't need a resistor just eating up electricity making heat.

you take paypal?

or, trade ya a fob.

saweeet.

i did my 3rd brake light this weekend.

ill post a pic later today!!!!

YALEROYNOT???

paypal or trade for fob????

YALEROYNOT???

yes / no???

PM him its more effective

sorry I forgot about this post

already sold

How would you go about changing the flasher? Where would you find a replacement that would work with leds, and what would be involved?

^^^ bump

also, what flasher do we need??
