What would you prefer?

1. Purchasing LED tails with LED Load Resistors

2. Getting LED tails without Load Resister and remove the warning signal bulb from dash?

Well, resistors tend to get really hot and removing a warning bulb means you no longer will be warned prior to something fouling up, lol. So it's a choice between taking the heat or flying blind...Hmm...Decisions decisions...

remove bulb. if you have LED tails, its unlikely that the bulbs will burn out.

is it easy to remove the bulbs? I have LED tails(or will have in a day) and itll bring up the check tail light on....

Remove the bulb. I look at my car way too much to not notice a bulb out.

I have load resistors in my Sonar/Wise LED outters, but they have yet to come out with them for the LED inners. So I was rolling around with stock inners and LED outter for about a year until I couldnt take it anymore. Although I hate to lose the functionality of the light out indicator, I pulled the bulb. It is VERY easy to do.

1.) Pull the dash out with your hands. Grab from the inner portions of the dash where the circles meet. Be careful not to pull too far. There is one wire harness you have to disconnect on the upper right of the dash.

2.) There are 4 phillips screws on the up left and right and bottom left and right of the actual dash. Very easy to spot. Try and use a magnetic screwdriver, as you may lose the screws as they are a tight fit. (This is a great time to thoroughly clean the dash with windex, plastix or watever.)

3.) You will clearly see at the bottom portion of the dash the shadows of all the warning lights. When u look at the bottom of the dash, there are a bunch of access point for the tiny 1 watt bulbs that screw out with a phillips. Take the bulb out and reinstall.

Good to go.

Thank you for all the info...from talking to ppl here, i think its better to go with removing the bulb from dash

Actually Sonar makes the inners with the resistor box now. Mine came with them.

Just pull the bulb. From an electronics standpoint you will have less power consumption which is the purpose of LED lights, aside from that they look good

ill pull my bulb out then. since my dash-light is on.

Good point. So if I have the load resistors on my outters and not my inners, I'm only getting half the savings in electrical consumption?

Are there any after market options...like add on 12V resistors?
