Do you guys what kind of LEDs would be perfect for Parking Lights/Sidemarkers without any problems?

Side Markers: #194 (4)
Front Directionals: #2057 (2)
Brake Lights: #2057(6)
Reverse Lights: #1156 (2)
License Plate: #194 (1)
2 Pin Electroinc Flasher

i got mine from there.....great bulbs.

 

ok this is the flasher I need: CF12ANL-01 http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/CF12ANL-01.html

 

To make your side markers work correctly, you'll need to get their load resistors too. One for each side marker that doubles as a turn signal.

 

Thanks for the website, they have all I need.

 

here are a few more

i bought 5xLED wide angle bulbs from superbrightleds.com for my side markers and license plate bulbs.Iinstalled them with no modifications whatsoever and they work perfectly fine. Just throwing that out there.

 

can you post a direct link to the led bulb you bought or a photo of it

 

here is a link to the bulb. it is the second drawing down labeled WLED-x5. I have the bulb in amber because I have clear side markers. If you have the factory amber side markers, buy the white bulbs.

thanks for the help. Did you have turn signal problems such as the front turn signal and sidemarkers not blinking at all or when they feel like it?

 

I only have the LEDs in my side markers. They blink just fine. I just have regular incandescent bulbs in my turn signals up front so can't help ya out there.

 

just to confirm this you are using the stock flashers with the leds

 

Stock flasher. But as I said before I do not have LED bulbs in my turn signals up front. Just side markers.

 

thanks for you help

 

OR get an electronic flasher, not the thermal ones. Normal parts stores have them. I used to have th LED bulbs in every light on the car but they didn't put out enough light for me (this was 5 or so years ago when they were new and well under ~4 LEDs per bulb). I bought those resistors but then tried the electronic flasher (think trucks that tow trailers) and it worked great.

 

Tridon EL12 flasher is electronic. the Tridon EL12 for both trun signals and Hazard Warning lights

Your link shows a mechanical flasher, not electronic.

 

it states electro-mechanical but I could be wrong
http://www.novitatech.com/tridon_daughter.html

 

Yeah.....By MECHANICAL, I think it means it'll work on a thermal trigger, meaning it needs a load to heat up & move. Not 100" electronic/"digitally controlled".

My STS controllers are 100% electronic, no moving parts, to carry out the lighting sequence.

 

then do you know where we could get a decent led flasher

 

No. That is the same exact flasher I've had in my bird for 5 years. It's meant for older trucks that hook up to trailers with lights on them so that you still have your normal signal function with the added load of the extra lights. It doesn't rely on load at all light our stock flashers do. It may not be "digital" control but it isn't thermal. It'll work to control our signals if we run LEDs. And @ $13 not at all pricey.

 

"Electro-mechanical" doesn't mean much. A relay is an electro-mechanical part because it uses electricity and it has mechanical moving parts. If they mean that this flasher is electronic and contains a relay, that could be easily called electro-mechanical.

The only way to verify is to by one. Otherwise there's no telling what's in it from the name that's just a made up title by their marketing dpt.

I bought it Saturday from Advance Auto Parts and it says "Electronic Flasher"(Tridon EL12) on the package.

 

There is a bunch of different lights inside my camaro. Does someone has a list of what size fits inside. For example in the trunk I have a rigid loop festoon bulb. But I dont know what I have without opening in the headliner '(festoon bulb but what length?), the vent control, the fog light control, the passenger foot place... If someone can help...

 

Sylvania Bulb Replacement Guide

 

I went to my local Autozone and bought l.e.d. side markers and brake lights and they work just fine. Didnt change a thing but the bulbs. They are twice as bright.

 

Thanks, that rocks.

 

I did the same thing and wasn't impressed. I VHTed my lights and thought they would be brighter but in reality they were lighter then the reg bulb?

 

I dont see why not. While driving at night I couldnt see my side markers shining on the ground. Now I always notice them especially when they are blinking.

 

I cant find the reference of the 2 lights that are in the center mirror. Can someone help me? Thanks

 

194 wedge type bulbs. i had to do minor modifications to get mine to fit however.

 

did you had to modify the side marker housing to make them fit

 

I bought some different size of led. Some fits some others not. I installed two that fits! The only thing is that i have to put them by the exterior. It cannot fit from behind. Do you know where to get a proper "glass" for these small lights?

 

do you have photos of the lights you bought or any links?

 

First sorry for the delay, I did an answer days ago but it did not went through.
I bought mine on http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html
So you can go find out the specs and pictures.
The WLED-X6 fit in the mirror and maybe in a bunch of place. The light is pretty fine for that place. Anyway I had to install the light by the front (I trashed the old piece of junkglass, if you know where to find one in good state, it would be cool), not from behind, like the old bulb could.
The WLED-X5 with its more beam do no fit (at least without turning the connector, but the LED would touch this way, which is not a good idea).
I put a WLED-X5 in passenger feet area and it is bright I like it.

I also tried some "festoon"
http://www.superbrightleds.com/festoon.html
The "Rigid Loop Festoon bulb with SMD LEDs" is fitting well in the trunk, but I did not tested it yet.
The 4410-X9 is the good size foor the headliner, the luminosity is not so bad but the beam is too much focused (30 degrees). This way the plastic cover do not show a uniform light, to be honest it is a bit disapointing. I bought this one because it is just drawing 1W, and I want to keep this area cool (I have burn trace around, normal lights are 5W, sometimes 3W. Remember Watts=Heat).
I would rather have bought the "4410-CWHP12" but I did not! 360beam a bunch of lumens but nearly 2W.
If I have to buy more lights there I will try this one. I can consider a trade with some of the lights I did not use. Contact if you are about to buy some lights there.

I still did not try to open the light on the ventilation commands, I will let you know, when I know what is fitting.

 

here is the led electronic flasher i bought

 

so the wledx5 can't fit into the side markers and the wledx6 can

I bought mine festoon led bulb off ebay (CTLumination http://stores.ebay.com/CTLumination) the bulb model number: #561

9 super bright Red leds into my dome light very Knight Rider

 

I bought a red too! Didnt try it yet...

 

anyone replace the light in the center console?
