u need these.....

http://www.v-leds.com/Load-Resistors...-p8726800.html

i just bought some the other day from Bill @ V-led to do rear ones.... havent had time to install them yet though.

BTW if your JUST doing rear LED's then you need the 6 OHM resistors but if your doing front/rear turn signal LED's you need to use 3 OHM resistors (and need 2 pair instead of one pair you need)

i also bought these as the Junction produce tails i bought are clear, i didnt want any amber showing through them, so im gonna try these

http://www.v-leds.com/AMBER-7443-21-...-p9812608.html

if i dont like them, im gonna convert to a dual 7443 bulb and get a switchback like this

but im 99% sure the first bulb i linked is gonna work well for me




WARNINGS about load resistors

they get REALLY hot and you do not wanna have them touch any plastics as they will melt them, thats why i went with these ones mounted to a metal plate to help dissipate cooling compared to these

http://www.v-leds.com/Load-Resistors...-p4783296.html

NOW had i noticed they had these,i would have gone with these as these should also help in cooling and keeping the load resistor off parts it shouldnt be on

http://www.v-leds.com/Load-Resistors...-p8795272.html

actually im gonna go buy those so if you wanna buy my BNIB one's let me know

they are a easy install though as they arent directional and either side can be tapped

i got a question about the resistor box, they give the warning that they get very hot. now do they start warming up when the car is turned on or when that light its correcting is turned on? example if i need it for my blinkers,will it only start getting warm when i turn my signals on and leave them on? if i turn my signal on to make a turn and so its pretty much only flashing for a few seconds and will start to warm up during thats few sec?

Im curious as to why they list the front turn signal bulb to be 1156 when I know for sure its not that bulb on my car.

I figured out that both front and back we use 7440/7443. My question is..v-leds offers both standard and ck style bulbs. Anyone know which we need? I could go out and test them myself, but its so frigging cold here that I dont want to right now.

could possibly just be a error, email bill from Vled. btw we dont use a 7443.....we use a 7440. 7443 is dual filament and we use the single filament 7440 bulb.

Brian, do you know if we have standard or ck type bulbs for turn signals? V-leds has 20% off and I might place an order for some bulbs before its over.

Also, do you know if its possible to switch out our flasher instead of using the resistors?

sakataj

the electronic flasher relay doesnt work on our car for some reason.....or it didnt for the few people who have tried it.

what do u mean standard or ck type bulbs?

Good review!

That looks awesome. Have you considered any shield mods for your new projectors?

Got these for my footwells, but they are a little too wide. Are there any bulbs that are a direct pnp? Jackson modified his bulbs, but I dont want to trim the housing or solder wires. What did you guys get?

i have been using Vled 's 74's for awhile with no issues, actually just replaced one today i ordered a few weeks ago and it fits fine..... so not sure why you think they are two wide

BTW jackson modified this bulb to get more light NOT because the 74 wouldnt work there

i just did this today myself. mine also didnt fit well, seems as though the 3 smd is a tad thicker than the 1 smd. @sakataj did you buy the 3 smd? i tried the 1 smd that i bought for my keyring light and it fit well. idk...i may just cut the connector and put a small board in there
