Considering mod: front turnsignals to LED

[djdrock]

The first light is complete and installed. I am going to work on the second one this week. I absolutely love the instantaneous effect of LED, and the brightness. Now, I need to get to work on figuring out a way to make an LED cluster for the sidemarkers. I have been keeping an eye on a recent thread regarding clear lenses with LEDs. :smile:

D'Ecosse...I found that you wrote this on another thread, and just wanted some clarification...

"Let me answer my own question here - I was testing a replacement LED corner light design for a fellow 'Primer and was about to test a replacement parallel resistor (to avoid fast-blink) - preliminary test was conducted to confirm if NO light would induce the "fast-blink" response: I was surprised to see that disconnecting the bulb entirely made no difference to the blink-rate. To take it one step further I also disconnected rear corner in addition to front corner & still found that there was no difference to the "normal" blink rate.

Short answer - no shunt resistor (or flasher relay mod) is needed when only replacing the corner lights with LEDs."

As you know, I am using a load equalizer on the fronts, but wanted to make sure that if I install an LED bulb in the front sidemarkers, that it will not alter my blinker rate.

At any rate...I read a bunch, and have decided to go with the 194 Matrix 5LED in amber from autolumination.com which will emit light in all directions for the sidemarkers.

Thanks!!!

The mod is complete, and both lights are in, and they look fantastic I must say. Very bright with well disbursed light and look almost factory unlike the version at clearcorners which uses a diffuser and on the front of the factory lense. I also put in the Matrix wide diffusing amber LEDs in the side markers, and they look factory, other than the instant on and off time when the turn signals are on. I will post pics later... :smile:
