Ok, there is no resistor in the light, and the voltage is about 4-5 volts. This is kind of an average because it's hard to tell the voltage with a multi meter while the lights are blinking. LoL.

Either way, I know it's not 12v.

 

yeah.. definitely... def... definitely not 12V..

 

i just put the puddle lamps that i had under the car and used them for the turning side mirrors, its very bright and beautiful

 

The TC lokks Insane. How come you said the second time around I used 5mm LEDs? And also where did you buy all of you Headlights turn signals lights from?

 

I think the first time he used 3mm. Second time was 5mm... a little bigger, and they are supposed to be brighter. But IMO, in the turn signals, they are just about equal.

You can get the turn signals for the headlights at autozone, pepboys, ebay, etc... just got to look around

 

Cool, thanks. I will probably give it a go this weekend.

 

i plan to but some blue led's on the mirror side markers and i keep reading that it is legal and it is not legel...any one now if it be ok in cali???

 

blue lights outside of the car are illegal ,
side markers are suppose to be orange only.
When i saw cops around, i don't even dare to use white turn signals.

And U will get pull over in CA faster than any other states.

 

oh..ok......id like to put blue iv seen it in some tc's but wasn't sure about it...wat about white?

 

Yeah, blue is def illegal. Especially if they are blinking. White is not completely legal, but it's not something that most cops are going to say anything about - unless of course you are in a town with bored cops, or CA.

The law (in most places) states that any light shining from the front of your car will be white or yellow. And light shining from the rear will be red or yellow, with the exception of the license plate light which is required to be white. This is how people get away with white blinkers - technically it's legal.

Other than that, no light may be visible from the car. Many people will argue that no light BULB may be visible but the "glow" is allowed. However, this is really up to the cops discretion. At the very least, the cops could give you a ticket for being a distraction on the road.

 

hey
if water gets into the turn signals after install
does that screw everything up as far as harnesses?
or do i just re-solder and do it again
i didn't silicone it well enough the first time =/

 

ehh.. things get wet... oops... dry it off and re-seal... hopefully there's no water damage.

 

If the thing was soaked in water and you used the blinkers then the possibility of messing something up exists. However, the first thing to go would most likely be a fuse.

Trung is right, dry it off and try again. You should be good to go.

 

okay so basically just check the fuse box?
so i guess i'll do that and check the bulbs

 

nice write up.

 

how much will this set me back to do ?

 

leds are like $.80-1 each? you need 4 of them.. plus a tube of silicone or other glue.. and tools..

 

costs like 10 bucks IF you have the tools

i did mine TWO times yet they keep burning out, am i not putting enough silicone? or should i use a circuit board? donde?

 

I know it's an old thread, but I'm about to do this, and I was wondering if there was ever a solution to the led's burning out... I think I'm going to put three in instead of two, maybe that will help.

 

^ x2 i want to do this did anyone get theirs to work long term?
