Default LED Sigs...Flashing faster and secuirty light on.

Swapped out the bulbs to LED (red in the back, amber in the front) and now the lights blink faster, and throws the little key light on the speedo.

I need a load EQ..

Can anyone make a recommendation on which, or what to get?

I got some 20 LED ones off of e-bay and I had to modify the slots on the socket for the pins on the bulb to fit.

I have red LED bulds in the rear I got from AutoZone and for the first few times they blinked fast,but now it's normal. I still have stock bulbs in the front. I bet you need to add some resisters in line of your signal wireing and it will be fine. I do love how the red LEDs look in the smoked clean lenses.

Do this. Take out the front LED and put the stock bulbs in there and try it. I bet after a few time it will flash normal.

Agreed, and I'll try the swap.

Any ELC.Png's have a guess as what size resistor would be required?

This makes me wonder if we could built our own EQ??...interesting.
