LED Parking/Blinker

[jconway23]

So I just picked these up http://www.superbrightleds.com/more...led-bulb-dual-intensity-45-smd-led-tower/633/

Put them in last night and they look pretty good. Made a turn this morning and I noticed that my blinker was going very fast. I thought when only using 1 buld (just front for me) you didn't have to use any load resistors and you wouldn't get the fast blinker. Its not a big deal I can order them. But I was just curious.

The reason for this is that the circuit that is controlling the speed of the blinker is load based. LEDs have a much lower load than traditional incandescent bulbs. The result of that change is the fast blinking. What you need is an LED compliant flasher module. Which I will find a URL for......

And you can get it here!

The BCM controls the rate of flash on the second gen X. It flashes fast since the BCM thinks that a bulb is burned out. Buy and install the load resistor and it will solve your problem. If you get the LED's for the rear, you will have to get a separate one for them as well.

Oh snap! Silly new vehicles and they're bus craziness. That's what I get for sticking my nose in the 2nd gen section where it clearly doesn't belong.
