this is what happened when i install new led

what do you think of the blinkers. I like it my personal choice. It happened when i installed led on the front turn signals.

it just looks like its got hyper blink.

 

Your truck thinks that the bulb is out because LEDs draw much less power than an incandescent bulb. It may look cool, but how are you going to tell if a bulb is out now? This is often referred to the "ricer blink", because people usually just buy LEDs and throw them in without fixing the lower draw of power. You can fix that by going to ebay or v-leds.com to purchase an LED flasher relay replacement.

 

What light are you using?

 

yes thats a very reliable place to go! good quality stuff and fast shipping btw

 

....an LED.

 

K, let me try again
Where did u get them from?
What r the part numbers?
R they brither than stock?
How much $?

 

i got them from ebay.
part number 4157
in the day they dont look that brite
like 8 bucks for them

 

Thanks for the info

 

That is why they are not bright.

 

LEDS have much lower resistance than incandescent bulbs. Add some resistors to the circuit or find a LED with built in resistors for a comparable value.

 

I just installed some for my rear turn signals as well and I personally hate the hyperblink effect!!!! It reminds me to much of a rice burner from the 90's!!! I just e-mailed v-leds.com to find out which resistor kit I needed cause I also plan on getting some LED's for the front turn signals as well. I have to admit, the red LED's I got for the rear turn signals looked pretty sweet and complimented the 2010 tails I got!

 

you need to get the led flasher for your truck i have it, works great, you just don't get the lock flash once u install the flasher

 

Hey does anyone know what the difference is between the "3 OHM 50W 4-bulb" compared to the "6 OHM 50W 4-bulb?" Obviously the difference is the "3 OHM compared to the 6 OHM." But what is the difference? Heres a link:

title should actually be...

"this is what happened when i purchased cheap LED replacement bulbs that did not have a load resistor integrated into them"....

 

difference in the amount of resistance...6 ohm is more resistance.

 

the flash lock? what exactly do u mean?

 

gotcha!

 

well there has to be a better way in order to retain all of the factory functions.

 

your right...
