L.E.D. DRL's

[doublej827]

I have been really thinking bout changing out my my DRL's and my turn lights out for leds and switchbacks n was wondering if they can jus be switched out or is something else needed to make them last and also how hard is it to get to them to switch them out. Any info is appreciated

You need to get a 6ohm 50 watt resistor. I got a pair from VLEDs but you can probably get the elsewhere.

it will look like this

That's exactly the look im going for...how hard is it to add the resistors?

 

[sumo]

not hard at all. basically it installs across bulb. tap into ground wire and into turn signal wire

Thanks....I guess I need to see the bulb to fully understand the install....do I need resistors for each bulb or one resistor for 2 bulbs?

Sumo, what are the exact LEDs you have in your drls?

Each bulb

its goes like this

Im using autoluminations 3157 i believe is the number. Its the Dual circuit that meant to handle voltage spikes. 2 years so far and not a problem

Sumo, would this be the same that you have?

Also, you don't need resistors for DRLs, right? Just turning signals?

Hmmmm, looks like Autolumination might be cheaper. Sumo, can you give me a direct link to what you have, just to be sure? And is your's super white? Or blue?

mine are a little different. But those should work fine. You only need resistors to slow the flashing rate of Led. Since led draw less power, the circuit will think a bulb is out. THats where the resistor comes in.
