How do they work for you? Any problems? I tried a set of blinkers on my ranger only to find out I needed relays and other "stuff" to make them work. Did you get any for your corner blinkers? If so, do they work/blink? They look cool from the picture.

they work fine so far. planning on getting the ambers for the blinkers.  they say that they are a direct replacement to your stock bulbs.

I like those LED's, AND your front license plate, or rather, non-license plate!  :D
Wish we didn't have to have front plates over here.... :mad:
I got a cool one I'd like to put on...

im impressed how good they look....
but, if you use led as hazard or flashing light, dont forget you'll need an electronic flashing circuit to drive em...

if you remove the load on your actual flashing electric system, the flashing relay wont work anymore....

this is a delayed charge, flashing system...

they wont flash on their own with the stock wiring?

I don't think they will.  LED's don't draw as much current as regular bulbs.  Unless, of course these bulbs have some sort of resistor built in?

If you use a Tridon HD12 flasher in place of the stock one, the lights will flash normally as long as you have at least one regular bulb in the system. For instance, you can replace all of your rears with LED's but must leave the front lights stock.

You can get away with it without using a bulb by getting a 5-watt, 15 ohm resistor and putting it parallel across the turnsignal circuit somewhere (you'd need one for each side). That sucker is gonna throw some heat, though, so you'll have to mount it in a place that it can get some air flow and won't melt or burn anything it touches. You'd still need an HD12 flasher tho

Nice, I hope to do my car in Led light soon.
There are a lot of different LEDS exactly which type did you use?

There are only two tools you will ever need:
1) WD40
2) Duct Tape
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

Bob - here is the thread I told you about that the guy needed to put amber lights in his T-Bird. He was in Estonia
