I saw Pic of the footwell lights before on here, may have been yours

Was hoping there was a how-to on it around here somewhere, if there is I could use some help finding it as I'm interested in doing it on mine

What are the specs on the rear load resistors?

Are those 25W 8ohm units?

There are two options available. I think the higher power ones [for switch back led in front signals], run 50W 6ohm.

Since the rear is just turn signal is it a 25w unit?

I think i'm going to go ahead and do front & back LED's, since my clear corners will be here any day now...

ya i got 50W 6ohm. here are some pictures and 27 x High Power 5050 LED white. But i think one should get yellow LED. ya hopefully i will do front ones LED too. post pic/video once you finished with yours.

The installation is very simple. Put the wires in to the clips and press it ALL THE WAY IN with a pair of pliers.


I just taped the resistor. Didnt bother screwing it in for now. It does get HOT but only when the turn signal is on. So use the tape on side. Not in the middle. Or else it will melt the tape glue.

^^ aha, appreciate it, but i just found an easier and reversible solution;


Pretty much piggybacks the bulbs off the existing socket, and simpler install with no exposed resistor.

They run 20ish a pair, and the ones that you have to spice are 17$, so i'll take the lazy way out
