Which color of LED should I use?
For the most vivid color and best results the LED color should be the same
as the lens color. If a white LED is used behind a red lens some of the
usable light is filtered out. If a white LED is used behind an amber lens
the color will be bright yellow.
Turn signal issues with LED bulbs
LED brake/tail lamps will not flash with thermal flasher units due to their
extremely low current draw. Some cars indicate this by increasing the flash
rate of the turn signals, some do not flash at all. This can be remedied
with load resistors wired across the turn signal bulbs to simulate a
filament bulb load. One way to test this is to pull out one of your blinker
bulbs. If you get a bulb out warning or rapid flashing, you will need load
resistors.
Load Resistor Kits:
6 Ohm, 50 Watt resistors can be connected across the turn signal wire to
simulate the load of a regular filament bulb (2 Amp load). This will solve
LED related turn signal problems such as hyper flashing, no flashing or
burnt out bulb indications. One resistor is required for each turn signal
bulb. Kit includes two resistors and 4 gel filled moisture resistant splice
taps.
Connection Instructions:
Using the included splice taps, connect one wire to ground and the other
wire to the turn signal wire. You do not have to cut your car's wires.
Squeeze splice taps with pliers. One Load Resistor required for each turn
signal bulb. No instructions are include with these kits.
Electronic LED Flashers
This problem may also be remedied with an electronic flasher, these units
are not available for all makes of vehicles. Many vehicles have two blinker
units, one for hazard and one for turn, so locate both by sound output. It
is not always necessary to replace the hazard flasher.
Dash indicators reporting burnt out bulbs
LED bulbs may cause some newer vehicles to indicate a bulb is burnt out
(because of their low power consumption). This can be remedied with our 25w
load resistors to simulate a filament bulb load. One way to test this is to
pull out one of your bulbs, if you get a bulb out warning you will need load
resistors.
Bulb Out Warning Fix:
These 25 Ohm, 25 Watt resistors can be connected across the turn signal
bulbs to simulate the load of a miniature filament bulb. This will solve LED
related burnt out bulb warnings in your dash board display. One resistor is
required for each bulb. Includes gel filled moisture resistant splice taps.
What is the difference between Warm White and Cool
White?
Cool White
These LEDs have a slight tint of blue to them. They are rated at 6,000-8,000
Kelvin. These bulbs are a great match for most stock and aftermarket HID
headlight systems.
Warm White
These LEDs are closer to the color of a standard incandescent bulb. They are
rated at 3,000-4.500 Kelvin.
Which LEDs bulbs are brightest?
Output greatly depends on the application and the intent of the
installation. Our High Power and SMT bulbs are the brightest we currently
offer. In most cases the higher number of diodes the bulb has the brighter
the output.
Are the bulbs standard size?
All our bulbs are standard size and will fit the application it is
replacing.
Do your bulbs have dual intensity?
All our 1157, 3157, and 7443 bulbs have high and low output. They will get
brighter when the brake or turn signal is applied.
Will LEDs work with the dimmer?
Yes LEDs will dim just like a standard bulb.
What bulb type or part number does my car take?
Sorry we cannot advise on which bulbs your vehicle or application takes.
Please see our
FAQ,
LED,
and
Fitment
Guide.
Can I replace my headlights with LEDs?
These bulbs are intended for use as a Day Time Running light or for
aesthetic purposes only. They are a great match for HID headlights but not
intended to be used as a primary source of light. We highly recommend
upgrading to one of our HID kits if you need more light to see by.
