    I want to change some of my bulbs to leds. Front turn siginals. Rear turn Siginals and side markers and Rear Licence plate replacements. All 4 sets cool white to match the Hoen fogs and Stock Hids. Not seeing which bulbs from here that I need(cross reference isn't matching)and also do I need these electronic Led flashers and resisitors for some, for all, how many, which ones??? A little confused and just want to make the order once with no mistakes. Any and all help greatly appriciated. Thanks, Chris

    Re: LED's

    Its not as straight forward as just replacing a bulb with the new LED bulb. You have to know which resistor to use for specific bulbs and connections. Also the resistors depending on the power input, will generator HEAT. so you cant just put the resistor anywhere otherwise it may end up melting other things around it.

    If anyone is an electrical engineer or a car electrical specialist here, i would like to hear their advise.

    Not to treadjack or anything...I bought some superbright white leds to replace the liscence plate lights and they work fine when the cars not on, meaning no key but lights are switched on, but when the car is running they are on for a few seconds and turn off. ot only that but my passenger taillight seems to have burnt out in the process...any help or how tos?
