RE: [DML] Re: Update/Next Question (LED Turn Signals)

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, you need to wire in a load resistor to simulate the original bulb, 
these will end up costing you about $10 each after shipping unless you find 
them local.
My extensive testing with LED's has found that it is not a good idea to use 
LED's
for the turn signals, they are not bright enough.
The lens of the running light / turn signal is designed to be a convex 
reflection
of the original bulb.
The LED, shining forward is not noticeable enough in the daylight to be safe
and useful.
LED's work great in some places like the doors, but are not good in other 
places.
