Anyone here thinking of changing the turn signals to LED white?

i wouldn't recommend doin this as it is illegal. also if u just swap it to led u will get the hyper blink and cops will definitely pull u over for that. u will need a resistor, sorry if i mispelled it, to make it blink normal.

FYI but LED fogs are mainly for "show", not for brightness.....in other words, all show no go

If you want bright driveable light, use HID Fogs!

Lost function?

For those of you using the 9005 drl mod, aren't you loosing the function of your hi beam? I used a set of 9005 led's from lextacy and was highly disappointed with the performance. They were supposedly more powerful and brighter than halogen, NOT!

I ended up getting some 100 watt 5000k halogen hi beams for performance and just driving with my 6000k lows and 6000k hid fogs.
