Hey guys...

My car will be in the shop soon and one of the FIRST things on my list is to make my turn signals flash normal. Here's the deal. I have replaced the stock bulds with LED clusters. an LED buld draws so little power when turned on that the car thinks a bulb is burnt out, thus, making my turn signals flash spastically.
Now, I know some people have wired in resistors to fix this, and I have some q'z for those that did.

-What size resistors are needed?

-Do I need four, or just one?

-Where and how do I wire them in?? As in what or which wire/s.... Im assumming right before the harness that you plug the bulb into.

Any help here would be great, and a pic or three would be superb!!!! I'm lost in this area, and it's a problem I want fixed. Thanks!!

alritey i can answer some, the size of the resistor im not sure what they use but if you check ebay they have these for sale, they are huge because they have to be high wattage, you are going to need one for every bulb you changed that flashes.......

theres the website, thats what they look like, and it also shows how you hook them up........to be honest that price doesnt seem to expensive, but if you could find a electronic shop, go in there and ask them if they have that 6 ohm, 50 watt resistor......you might just get lucky........

Thanx BigD! Yea, price would be good if you got all four! :( But that page told me the majority of what I needed to know. I'll hit radio shack and see what I come up with.

Anyone else have any additional input??
