hey guys i need ur help.

recently me and a friend ordered led bulbs for the front headlight turn signals. the bulb is the correct size, i believe its a 7440 or 7443 or w/e. well, when i installed mine and tested them, my blinkers turned on and off at its normal rate, but with his, the light turned on and off quicker. he has HIDs also, so im not sure if myb its becuz of that, but he basically wants for it to blink at a steady rate.

anyone have any idea y this is happening and how to fix it? and has it happened to anyone else on here? thanx guys.

He needs load resistors (http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ord-Light~bulbs-Signal,Corner,Tail~and~accessories~bulbs-1-33226.htmLED). < Link

LED bulbs don't use as much energy as filament types so the car thinks the light is blown out. That faster blinking is supposed to let you know the bulb needs to be changed. Those resistors will fix the problem. Two other popular sites that have them are www.superbrightleds.com and www.autolumination.com .
