I've been looking at getting the euro-style clear front blinkers for my '94 GT on ebay but they are specified for years 96 and above. I've tried comparing pictures of 94 blinker fixtures to the newer years but it's hard to distinguish. It almost looks as if the 96 and aboves are slightly more angular.

Does anyone know if they are the same size? Or do the 96 and above differ from the 94's?

Any insight would be much appreciated, Thx.

FAO Wolfie308 -> I aren't having a go at you or your products, I'm sure they are great.

My opinion on the bulbs is that I had a set of silver ones and was very disapointed with them, I was nearly involved in a couple of knocks which luckily we were travelling slow enough to avoid. Regardless of the quality of the reflectors in a light unit, when you look directly at the bulb from even a close distance you would struggle to see them lighting up if it was during the day.

I have used led bulbs for along time now and have been very impressed with both the lighting and the fact that none have ever needed replacing in 3+ years of use. I have them for indicators and I have modified my heater/ac controls to uses leds for all the illumination, I use them for the dash lights and I have even replaced the standard ones in my stereo to change the colour from blue to red. I am making led rear clusters as we speak and I have led reverse/centre brake lights. I am truly happy with them.

As for the resistor, the cables that come pre-attached are a bit short so I replaced them with slightly longer ones and I have screwed both left and right turn signal resistors to the crash bar just behind the fron bumper, not had any problems with these either. I have mounted the resistors for the rear indicators onto the inside metal panel in the boot near to where the cluster bolts come through the panel, again not had any problems with them.

Also - how about these?

They wouldn't show alot from the front, but you'd get alot of reflection around the housing!

would i need the flasher PLUS load equalizers?...if so, what flasher would i need?...what OHMs load equalizer would i need to get...????


No you would only need a load resistor for each bulb socket that you use an led bulb in, your car already has the flasher relay unit so you won't need those again. It looks like those are just so that you can flash any bulb thats plugged into it.
