Load Resistor for LED's
I have the smoked lenses waiting for me at home when I return from my latest assignment in Iraq. Should be another week or two. I'm looking forward to it.
I got the red LED arrays on the back, and amber 1157's up front. Since installing the LED's in the back, the signals flash quickly, like there's a burnt out lamp. I kinda expected that. I'm gonna experiment with some resistors when I get home. I have some EZ Clip jumpers in my electronics kit, so I can just clip resistors across the LED array until I find the correct resistance and wattage. I can't see spending the money on a load equalizer when resistors cost only pennies each. We shall see if it works or not. I see no reason why it won't. I'll post the results.

Hemi thanks for the info Ill check into it,definitely a lot cheaper than then one I have on order I was told because of the alarm system it required a load equalizer different than the one they had in stock. cost $80.00 led bulbs $21.00 each.
