Hey guys i bought a pair of amber led lights T10 bulb for my rear signal. and when i checked it out i realized that it takes 2 bulbs for signals, so i installed both my t10 led bulbs to my left rear turn signal. lights looks great. but the problem is now that when i use my left turn signal, the signal light (green arrow) in front of me goes really fast. what can i do . Why is it doing that.
Is it cause i just installed those led bulbs only on one side of the car?
Please help
thanks

I vaguely remember from the maxima forum that you need to install something "inline"with the bulb. Reason being the LED will illuminate faster than a regular bulb, which is in the headlight. I can't remember the name of the part, but it doesn't cost much. I'm sure someone else will chime in and add on to what I'm saying, or completely blow me out of the water.lol Hope I explained it correctly.

iceman is correct, LED's are diodes and as such don't have a resistive load, which the circuit wants to see. You can buy T10s with the resister built in, the added load-type of products I have seen are actually more expensive than just buying it already built in.

just Google for "led turn signal bulb" and you will find plenty of people that sell them for 5-10 bucks or less.

Nice...I didn't know they made them with resistors built in. I guess it makes sense. Makes it easier to plug and play. Consumer demand is great!!lol
