Troutman Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Indeed, it wouldn't have bothered me so much if it wasn't an annoying job to change them over, so I went back to incandescent. The LED indicators etc remained though, no issues there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoN_BLaZe34 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Understandable. At this time, the only LED's in my car consist of the ones I have in the doors and the high powered whites in the license plate. Oh yes, and in my dome lights as well.

Troutman Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Ah yes I had all those too, only experience tells us which ones last and which ones aren't worth bothering with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 One of my inner rear leds is dead. It half lights. Anybody knows what is recent popular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 The best current LED bulb is called the Elef, you'll find them on Ebay. Very expensive however. Cheaper way is to replace like with like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mts Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 The best current LED bulb is called the Elef, you'll find them on Ebay. Very expensive however. Cheaper way is to replace like with like... Any idea if a resistor is still required to slow the flash frequency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yes a resistor is required for indicators due to lower current draw (the ELEF is 3w compared to 21w or whatever for stock). However, many cars have aftermarket LED compatible flasher units available which is a better solution again.

See http://autolumination.com/equalizers.htm I would prefer something adjustable such as a potentiometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
