Default Anybody using LED turn signal bulbs for...

As the title states, I have a set of clear diffusers that I'll be installing this weekend. I know a few people are running amber LED's for the parking lights, anybody using them for the turn signal?


Thanks, Matthew-

i'm in the same boat you are, but with naked headlights (no diffuser). i'm running amber LEDs for the parking lights, and have LED turn signals and the resistors to go with them, but "we" haven't installed them yet.

I use LED bulbs for the side markers (the blinkers on the fender).

I've got LEDs for all turn, parking, and brake lights. You will need the resistors.

I have not found any Amber LED's bright enough for daytime use with non amber diffusers. Well I might have but they were like $25 a bulb.

I run amber LED bulbs for both the parking light and turn signal for my cleared out AP2s. I ordered them from http://www.superbrightleds.com/.

I find them to be bright enough and I'm definitely happy with them. As someone else mentioned, resistors are needed if you want to retain the factory blinking rate. I'm currently too lazy to address this

I believe these are the ones I run for the turn signals:

I forgot they had released those. I was still thinking they only had the luxeon ones.

Thanks for the replys guy's.


I think I'm going to give them a try. The chrome bulbs I have in my sidemarkers from Rick's aren't bright enough for my tastes. I'm sure I'll end up replacing them with leds as well.


Thanks again.
