Just playing around, didn't cost me much so I'm trying them out. Can go back to the regular bulb type if I don't like them.

Might try the turn signal hack next as they are designed for this - the second set of three LED's lights up and flashes if you want them to work this way.

 

So how did you do it?

 

Are these specifically set up for flashing? The reason I ask is that I did the mod to make my sidemarkers flash, but had read that it wouldn't work with LED's because they are directional.

Is that a different fixture or is the regular clear fixture with an LED appliance?

 

They are stand alone units - not the usual part retrofitted or adapted. Easy splice and go - 10 mins. I had to play with the fitment, the spring wasn't exact enough. One 7.5amp fuse was expended by accident... (always have spares)

As far as making them flash as turn signals; The key is the relay and how the LED's are wired in series with the front signals. I've got a contact with an LED firm in China and he's pretty sure it can work. (I'm doing my whole basement in LED lighting)

I've got a cross reference list for blubs to LED's and there doesn't seem to be any incandescent that can't be changed out to LED units now. Some units because of the draw do require load resisters such as my taillights. License plate LED's don't need them. Interior lights should be ok as well. It's any light connected with relays and switching/voltage changes is where problem solving comes into play.

 

I got the same set of side markers. After installing, I noticed that the front three LEDs lit but the three back LEDs do not light. Mine had only two wires so how do you get those three to light either as a marker or as a turnsignal?

 

Looks great

 

Great stuff. Please let us know how you make out with the flashing.

 

Well I'll tell you after I blow a few more fuses...
