Thinking about changing signal bulbs to LED... question.

[LouKango]

Hello everyone... I just ordered 921 5000k 8w LEDs from v-leds to put in as my reverse lights. I would like to change out the front and back blinkers to LEDs and was wondering if anyone you guys had problem with hyper flashing after LED conversion. Am I going to need resistors for them to work properly?

I think you will have to buy bulbs that have the resistor/chip built in the bulbs in order to avoid any problems with the turn signals. I have yet to actually order some. I have a dusty old thread on this....

Thank you for the link!

I somewhat read through the thread and looks like it's not really worth the trouble to go LED. I've never seen LED bulbs with built in resistors. I just received the 921 LED bulbs from v-leds and will install tomorrow. I'll upload some pictures of the result. I know these bulbs are great... I had them on my altima coupe 3.5 which I traded in. I'm kicking my self b/c I didnt take them out before trade in. These things costs $50!

Thanks again scottdk.
