LED bulbs for turn signals with resistor?

Post by authentic » Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:36 pm

I'm looking to replace most of my lights with LEDs, but I know that if you put in LEDs for the turn signals, it thinks that there is a blown bulb due to low resistance and they flash super fast.

Are there any LEDs out there that have a resistor built in, or would I have to wire in my own?

I think the bulbs are 1156, 1157 and 194s on the side.

Edit: Whoops, wrong category sorry. No sure how to delete or move it..

you can just modify your flasher relay or buy a LED specific flasher relay...
