Anyone have LED running lights in there cars? If so, how'd you get them to work?
I got mine in the mail today and went to install them. I did the PS first, amd it lit up fine with the LED in the PS and a Filament bulb in the DS. So I went to change the DS and when I get the LED in, both PS and DS did not work. Checked all the fuses and they were fine, and when i put both filament bulbs in they both lit up. Not sure why this is happeneing but Im guessing it has something to do with the small amount of power the LEDs take compared to filament bulbs. Anyone have any input, or a solution to get these to work?

Yes I think you are correct about the bulbs drawing less amperage. The autoparts store sells resistors that you attach to the wiring. It is a small rectangular prism with a wire coming out of the two ends.
It will be near the light bulb, electrical or custom interior/exterior sections This post has been edited by Special_Edy: May 4, 2012 - 11:15 AM |
