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

 

[doublej827]

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

 

[doublej827]

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

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.

Subscribed, interestested in led drls but would like to stay away from resistors, possible?

Just saw last post, so LEDs will work just fine for drls w/o resistors? Also you don't need resistors for backup lights right.

 

[felixgun]

Not sure about the led DRL's but you definitely don't need resistors for the reverse bulbs. I've got the top of the line v-LED's reverse light LED's for sale if you are lookin at gettin some lemme know!

 

[sumo]

no resistors needed for drl only turn signals and resistors are used to slow or cure hyper flashing

Not another one.....

Ive been told to mount the resistors away from any plastic because they get hot. Where are you guys mounting them?

 

[Blazed]

guys on ebay they have led error cancelers for led blinkers for $18 easy way!

sumo - how did you get both drls and turn signals on at the same time, my turn signals are only on once auto headlights pop on then obviously the drls turn off...

~~~~ Nevermind, guessing it has to do with the fogs on

yea. If there enough light the DRL stay on even with fogs turned on

I have the same question... Installed LEDs DRLs and Switchbacks... But canʻt seem to figure out how to make them both come on at the same time...
