I'm not saying anything is wrong with how you did it ofey, I was just adding how mine are sorted. :wink:

And I bought my load resistors for other purposes too and they were <$5

Anybody know what type of resistor I would need just to change the indicators (F+R) to led globes and brake/tail lights. I get the asc off and service required. thanks.

I included resistors in the box when I shipped. Did I sell one to you? I looked through my list and didn't see your name.

You will need a wirewound 180ohm 5W resistor.

Nah I havent bought them yet, just wanna change the globes on the stock tail lights to led for the time being until i buy a set off you ofey.
So wirewound 180ohm 5W resistors work for indicator bulbs too?

I don't think the indicators will give you a problem. Just the tail lamps. Do one at a time till you solve the problem. No point putting in 4 resistors when 1 might do the trick.

they work but blink really fast

When blinkers blink really fast, it is due to the ECU thinking that one of them have blown and it's to inform the driver something is wrong with the indicator.

Please refer to my 2nd post on Page 1 of this thread. I've shown how to get over the problem with the LED Tail Lights. You might want to try an adaptation of it.

You will need to do the resistors on the indicators too.

same, wirewound 180ohm 5W ones?

Yes you can try those. They may only work on the tail lights though, but try them on the indicators too. If that fails to work, do an ebay search for "Load Resistor" and you will probably need one for each bulb you are replacing.

There is a difference between the problem the LED tails have and the indicators. The indicator circuit is designed to flash faster when a bulb is missing, as required by ADRs. It is more sensitive than the tail light circuit.

I'd take a guess and say its for the fog light. Some markets have a fog light in a spot where one of our reverse lights are.

SIR-VRX is right as usual. Ignore it. Just put the amber lights in for your signals.

Of course I'm right

Don't let your head grow too big. The outstanding ones all get hammered in.
