Question about LED bulbs in tailights
Hey guys
last weekend I got a ticket not for speeding but because of my tailiights!!!!!! (I have the clear top/red tailights) which their is know amber bulbs in their just clear ones. I thought well I guess I'll through some LED amber bulbs in their and might as well replace all the bulbs to LEDs. My question is, will I get a hyperblinker in the back or the tailight out idicator light on the dash pop on when I switch out all the bulbs? I searched through a whole bunch of threads but never got a forsure answer. I'll be ordering the from superbrightleds.com as well.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

✔Hyperblink taillight
-Unless you change your flasher relay to this:
-It's an electronic flasher relay made specifically for LED bulbs due their low current.
-Not sure if the one I have goes the same for all years, important thing is the terminals should be exactly the same.
✔Taillight out indicator
-No other way but to install resistor for each bulb, or just remove the bulb in the dash for the indicator.

Mine's on the left, and I have LED signal lights. Raine's on the right and he has regular filament bulbs for the signal lights.
But yes, I agree with your statement regarding the LED's placement, but that's something totally up to you when you buy the bulbs. You choose the right one according to where you need it and how it will project the light.
