did you use a load resistor? if not, do they blink fast? do you have a picture or video of them on? they seem like they have a lotttt less led's than those other ones.

alot of LED bulb manufactures compensate with Alot of individual LEDs for weak low powered LED's and to try and "fill" the light bucket evenly.

my DRL led's -plug and play NO load resistor, the turn lamps do need load resistor. Note: this is on a 2008 tahoe. order all my led's from LEDLight.com.

Storm you can go with or without a Load resistor HOWEVER a load resisters job is to resist the current because LEDS take up less power.. so little intact that the blinker thinks the bulb is blown and starts to Blink fast.. you can do that and let it blink fats if you like but to keep the stock rate need a load resister..

Load resistors are used to fool the flasher into flashing at the rate filament bulbs do.

ok awesome, thanks for the help guys. i have the order all ready to go. has anyone put amber LED's in the DRL's to act as another set of parking lights? i figure it might be easier instead of turning the knob every time. i am not a fan of DRL's at all.

also, when ordering my 2 load resistors, do I need to look for one with the same wattage as the LED bulbs?

does anyone know which type/model load resistor is appropriate for the turn signals? i went to autolumination.com and they have three different types with different wattages and ohms, and i know nothing about this stuff.
