2015 5.0. Turn/DRLs keep going out

[rickkapur]

2015 5.0. Turn/DRLs keep going out pretty much every year. I had the harnesses replaced two yrs ago, still the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks

Replace with high end LEDs like VLEDs Triton. I've put 3 years and 60,000 miles on mine with no issues.

Are these the one that fit? They show up as front turn bulbs. If I select DRL replacement it does not have any options. Thanks

Those should work fine - remember you might have to reverse the leads to the bulb (there's a plug about 5 inches back) on one or more of the lights. There are a few write ups about this on the forum -
You might not need resistors - mine doesnt.

Stop using them. I've never burnt a bulb in 5 years, same car. Its just a weak point.

I never use mine either. Been 3 1/2 years since I've replaced one.

Yes, the ones I linked are the correct ones. The Extreme are turn signal only, the regular are DRL rated and don't need a hyperflash module.

The ones you linked are not as bright as you want for DRL use, nor are they cooled for DRL use. They also don't seem to draw enough power to not need a hyperflash module.

Those look great - when mine burn up in a few months I'm going to order those. I wonder if I can get them without the resistor for cheaper-
edit: here they are: 50 LED HIGH VISIBILITY AMBER 1157

Those are not DRL rated- you can ask VLEDs support, but I think they'll also consider it a warranty voidance due to thermal limits. You likely won't need a resistor as they are 10 watt lamps, but 10w is a lot of heat to dissipate for a small volume like an 1157.

Only the Tritons are continuous duty rated, not the Triton Extreme line though. The amber Triton V6 is 12 watts (tapers to around 8 watts over time) per lamp and does not need a resistor pack on mine.

I went with a 10 pack of Eiko 2357NA bulbs for $10 at Oriley Auto Parts.
