***THESE WILL REQUIRE LOAD RESISTORS IN ORDER TO PREVENT HYPERBLINKING*** (very fast blinking)
here is the link for the bulbs i used

enjoy guys

I have a set that looked just like those for my backup lights but they didn't fit. Site showed they fit but mine were a different bulb. Suppose to be really bright.

 

[pog]

yeah our reverse lights are 921. manual says something else i forget.

So i purchased the bulbs, what is the load resistor and where do I get it

 

[pog]

load resistor is to prevent hyper blinking. since leds consume less power than the reg 3157 it tricks the system into thinking the bulb is fused causing the signals to blink quick. thats my understanding of it anyway

 

[CAT35niner]

Do u have a link for the load resistors and which ones to get? I ordered the bulbs just need the load resistors.

pm'ed

 

[powersmokin64]

Thanks pog for your help mine should go out today!

 

[CAT35niner]

I got the parts. Cant wait for the install. How did u wire up the resistors?

If you go to the resistors ebay link you can see the diagram there.

I got mine installed, looks retarded without HIDS!

Retro soultions.... I want some HIDS!!!

 

[CAT35niner]

Do u still have the link? I cant pull it up anywhere and cant find the exact part on ebay.

 

[87jumpy]

Pm sent!

 

[CAT35niner]

Thanks for the help bud

i havent even tried mine with the hids on yet. i wonder how the 5k against the 6k led bulb will look

hahaha, I said the same thing, guess HID headlights are in my future now.:doh:

 

[87jumpy]

What will match better? 5k or 6k

 

[pog]

6k for sure. but i prefer pure white for my headlights vs the tint of blue that 6k produce.

 

[Powerstroke586]

where did you get the load resistors

 

[Ia PWRSTKE]

If I have my factory tails do you think I need the load resistors? When I had led tails they worked the right way. Not sure...

 

[AKHILF]

The led tails were most likely already set up i believe. I could be wrong though
