Re: LED tail lights
srs244 - At the risk of sounding out to lunch, what are CANBUSS bulbs? From your paragraph it sounds like they have something special about them that they do NOT need a resistor. Since you have used them on interior lights, have you tried them on brake lights and turn signal lights? That's where I want to use them, on the brake and turn signal sockets. Of course, I don't want any light showing a bulb out, on the dash.
180, what LED's did you use for the brake and turn signals on your cars? Were they a plug in and go or did you have to use the resistor? I did see something on the web that you could replace the flasher that is used for the turn signals with one for use with LED's but I've searched all three volumes of my Crossfire manuals and could not find the location of the flasher. There is a wiring schematic for the flasher but no location is listed. There is a location for a multi-purpose switch located in the steering column, under the horn. Could that be it? If it is, why in the hell can't Mercedes and Chrysler call it a turn signal "flasher"? Let's not go there!
I guess if I am going to put LED's in the rear brake and turn signal sockets, right and left, I will just need the resistor on the turn signal socket and not the brake socket. I'm assuming the brake socket and bulb will be like a interior bulb with no resistor. Only the turn signal will need the resistor. Am I correct? If there is no resistor on the brake bulb and socket, will I get a bulb out light on the dash?
Let me know, Guy's,
