LED help
Hi Guys,
I was inspired by cdoyle’s thread about his LED conversion on his Camaro. So far I’ve gotten my front and rear side markers converted and I’ve also gotten the front turn signals changed to LED. The only thing I haven’t gotten changed are the tail lights. When I installed all the LED’s I ran into a problem.
The rear side markers light and look great. Unfortunately the front side markers won’t light at all. The front turn signals light, but they don’t blink much when I try the turn signals. When I try the hazards everything worked, except the side markers, which haven’t lit since I put them in. Before installation I tried each light, making sure they worked before I put them in the car.
Right now the car has Steve’s STS unit (love it) and it has an aftermarket adjustable flasher. The emergency flasher is still stock. cdoyle suggested this flasher unit, http://usaled.com/?mainURL=%2Fstore%...item_id%3Doq1k but it’s no longer in stock.
When I purchased some LED’s for my husband I also bought some of the resistors they offered.

Should I install these with the front side markers, even though each board has it's own resistors for each set of arrays?
Any help would be really appreciated.
