I bought these...

They work perfect. Kinda makes them look like fog lights while driving, but they still blink amber.

Is there any way to wire it so they blink at the same time?

Mine blink at same time.

i just ordered a pair of nokya hyper yellow bulbs to replace the turn signals to give it a faux fog light look. i'll see how that goes when they get in.

Does anybody think this will work with LEDs in the side markers? I know people had issues with rapid blinking when moving to LED turn signals. Am I right to believe that this would not be the case if the you piggyback the LED side marker off of an incandescent turn signal? Is there something I am missing in relation to line voltages/currents on LED bulbs that will cause problems?

No info?

I'm not an light expert but from what I read, you can use led but it cause hyper flashing. Last I check which is about 4 month ago, a few vendors on here were selling led bulbs with built in relays(?) to prevent the bulb from hyper flashing.

I have yet to change mine out for led so I can't help you there.

If you get hyper blinking just replace the turn signal flasher relay that has the resistance built in. This will prevent any hyper blinking and only requires one thing to be installed.

Ill be doing this mod today. Thanks for the DIY.

any way to keep the side marker bulbs off until initiating the turn signal?

Yruyur · 04-06-2013, 01:29 PM

They should be off if you are only hooking up to the blink circuit.
