    Led bulbs

    Anyone on here have led bulbs fitted to their indicators/ stop lamps and reversing lights if so do you have load resistors fitted?

      If you fit LED indicator bulbs you need to add resistance to each side's circuit. Otherwise, due to the lower resistance of LED bulbs the flashing rate will not be correct. Others like side tail and reverse won t matter.

              That's really crisp! It is definitely ON then OFF. the normal filament bulbs definitely warm up and cool down by comparison.

              Good video
