Ooooh, my head hurts! I've been searching and reading.... Then searching and reading some more.

I need to know what I need to do to convert ALL of my lights to LED.

From what I understand I need to put in an led flasher for the turn signals. Do I need one for the 4-ways also?

What about the brake, parking, and reverse lights? Do I need to put in resistors or anything else?

It's an '88 Cherokee...... All the lights suck! I'm going to upgrade to autopal h4 euro-spec headlights and LED's everywhere.

 

I don't know if you've found your answer or not but, from what I understand all you need is the LED flasher OR dummy load resistors for turn signals. I haven't read anywhere that you need any resistors for brake lights. I'm not an expert but, replacing the flasher for the turn signals should take care of the 4 way flashers as well.

Check out this web site for some good bulbs and demo videos. I stumbled across it one day when searching for some BRIGHT plug and play bulbs.

Thanks!... And no, I haven't found good info yet.

 

<--- Not an expert.

the turn signal will require the resistors to keep them at a normal blink rate.
All the lights that are controlled by your action (like brakes, tail or reverse) should not need anything to work properly.

 

I'm pretty sure you'll need LED flasher cans for the turn signals and flashers.
I can tell you this much, doing a full LED conversion is going to be pricey. I plan on doing the same thing myself eventually so I've been reading up on it. One thing I did find out, is that you want to get like colored LED's. For example: For brake lights with red lenses, you want to get red LED's and for turn signals with amber lenses, you want to get amber led's. From what I've read, using a red LED in a red lens will actually be brighter than using a white LED in a red lens and the same goes for amber.

.......and ofcourse for front turn signals with clear lenses, you still want amber LED's.

You should only need the LED flasher cans. The load resistors are mainly for either not using an LED flasher or for newer cars that show when things such as brake lights are burned out. An LED will not draw enough load for the sensor to show the bulb lit.

Sorry for reviving this old thread but I'm looking for solid answers on this topic. Currently I'm looking to upgrade all the front lighting on my 96.

These are the "recommended" bulbs from superbrightleds.

Now my question is, if I buy these bulbs, do I need to also buy 4x load resistors, or will these just plug and play?

Thanks in advance

 

Check out JCR offroad LED conversion kits, their site displays some how-to do this

The bulbs should be plug n play but the typical flasher will read the drop in current as a bulb outage. You can buy the dummy loads/resistors or replace the flasher units. I replaced mine with ELECTRONIC ones...think I used EL-12s from autozone for both the turn and four way flashers. No problems with my leds

 

I want to change out the LED's under my dash and in my overhead console, any idea what size I need? it's a 92 Laredo

 

I'd check the owner's manual for the stock size and type. Some sites like superbrightleds.com has a cross reference guide to help u pick the right led to fit. Not sure how accurate it is but it's there.
