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?

Any idea what size resistor would be needed? And would they be required on both bulbs?

Im sure the amperage draw of the incandescent bulbs isnt that much for sidemarkers, so Id say that one on one side would be sufficient. Worst case is that you blow the fuse. Usually you need them for the blinkers. I switched to LEDs turn signals on my truck and the blinker would flash super fast or not at all till I installed them. |
