cooleric2000 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Some websites recommend a pair of load resistors for LED turn signal lights. Will it work or burn out faster if I don't get load resistors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charli Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hello,They can be cut, bent or twisted into many different configurations and will fit in places where standard bulbs or LED light clusters can't be used. Each flexible LED light strip consists of a series of LED light modules that are mounted on a flexible backing. The modules are 15mm long and each module has 5 mini-LEDs. This means that a 150mm long (just shy of 6") strip contains 50 miniature LED lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP... you NEED the load resistors for LED turn signals. They take in current and turn it into heat to imitate a bulb actually being there. If you leave out the load resistors, your LED's will hyper-flash (blink too rapidly). But they won't burn out quicker without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossin Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I have led turn sigals and I have no load resistors, and they function perfectly like a normal bulb would on my 1991 ls400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please show us what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
