Hello everyone,

Im looking into changing my factory corner, turn, brake, and reverse lights. and im looking into L.e.d lighting. I have a set in front on my corner and turns but since i have installed them my turn signals are out of wack.. It blinks fast as if i had a buld out.

Does anyone have a fix to this or a place that sells good led kits for the exterior lighting??

Hi, the reason why its blinking fast is because the resistance is different from the LEDs to the standard bulbs. I bought LEDs for the stop lights that worked, but were no where as bright as the factory ones. I wound up putting the factory ones back in...Tj

Thanx, i read about the resistors and such.. and figured that might be my problem..

So for a fix i would have to buy the resistors? or something else.
Also what factory lights work well.. I have smoked corner and turn so i see what color the bulb is.. I tried the Silverstar models and the lights are ****ty. Yellowish. im looking for a bright white or white/blue lights

"IPF Fat boys" work well for the H4 conversion and are super bright but pricey. Trying to figure the resistance you will need is not an easy task as the stand by voltage and draw voltage will be different...Tj

or instead of resistors, you can get an led flasher.
