hey guys i just bought l.e.d. front turn signals (7440). they fit perfect but when i use them, the blinker blinks fast as hell!!!... what do i need to do to make them work safely and ruin anything???

 

That's because the new LED light is using less power so your car thinks your light is about to go out so it makes your turn signal blink faster as a warning sign to change you lights for a new one.

You need to get two load registers, one for each side of the car.

I had this issue as well so I just decided to get chrome plated turn signal. They turn amber when they are lighted up but are chrome coloured to match the light housing when they aren't being used. So no need to use LED signals.

Good luck.

 

where can i get these "load registers" and what are they and where do they go?

 

get the load register at www.superbrightleds.com
They stop the lights from blinking so fast and register them at normal speed. They go under the hood and connect to your turn signal wire. You'll have to splice the wire and tape it back with the load register splicing. There are directions that come with them when you purchase them.

 

load resistors

 

and you need one for every LED; so if you put them front and rear you need them both places for a total of 4. if just the front, that 2 is fine.

 

sweet, thanks guys

 

6ohm for each "bulb" or 3 ohm per SIDE is what i've been seeing needed.

 

correct. i have 2 3ohm load equalizers, one for each side, connected to the front signals.

got mine from www.superlumination.com

 

so if i put LEDs just in the rear turn signals i need the same thing? 2 3ohm?

 

You'd think so but actually no. If you just replace the front or rears you need one 6 ohm resistor per side. If you replace both front and rear you need one 3 ohm resistor per side.

You can go with four 6 ohm resistors and it's a bit more work but each one is going to disipate less heat than going with just two. I'm running two with the things mounted up to the support brackets for the front bumper. This things get too hot to touch after about 10 minutes of blinking (which is a long time to change lanes

 

ok so i need 1, 6 ohm resistor per l.e.d. on every led i put on the car.... so when i order these i want to order 4, 6 ohm resistors.... (2 for the front and 2 for the rear)

 

unless you do 2 3 ohm resistors, then yes.

 

I like the fact that mine blink fast

 

How about the wedge LED bulbs?
Will it make the turning signals blink fast if the 168/194 led's do not have the reisistor on it?
Would you have to put these resistors on them as well?

 

Your parking lights have no influence on your turn signal lights/bulbs

 

Thanks
