Yossry - I installed these: Amazon.com: KATANA 9005 HB3 LED Headlight Bulbs - CREE Chips w/Adjustable Beam - 12000Lm 6500K Extremely Bright Conversion Kit: Automotive Pretty easy to install, on the passenger side as it is, and on the driver's side once I got the relay box, etc. out of the way 40 posts · Joined 2010. #6 · Dec 2, 2010 (Edited) All LEDs require current limiting resistor. You will let the smoke out otherwise. Really! The resistor sets the current based on the voltage drop (voltage applied) across the LED. Old school LEDs are 20mA but newer more efficient LEDs could be in the sub 10mA range. Load resistors can be required for LED lights when the vehicle wiring is unable to recognize the light's presence due to its very low power draw. Standard incandescent bulb lights draw more power and so they are more easily "seen" by the wiring harness. Load resistors like # DI34ZR drain away some power and so they mimic the characteristics of There are two versions of Morimoto XB headlights available. The XB LED headlights are a fully-LED equipped headlight unit that does not require any additional bulbs. The low beam, high beam, DRL, turn signals, and parking lights are all included within the headlight. The XB LED Hybrid headlight will require the use of a turn signal bulb. Simply put, the load resistors draw additional current to create a stronger signal to the flasher relay. The down sides to adding load resistors is that they get hot and they reduce one of the primary benefits of change to LED or SMD bulbs; less current draw. That said, load resistors are a quick and easy way to fix a signal flasher problem. The simplest way to limit the current is to put a resistor in series with the LED. At low current and low voltage differences it works well enough. If you have a high current LED or a very large voltage difference, then the resistor has to waste a lot of power. That means you have to use a physically large resistor to handle the waste heat, and I switched over (or am trying to) to LEDs for the rear and front turn signals. Unfortunately I am getting the hyperflash and the bulb out message. From what I have been able to find here, it looks like I need to add resistors to each turn signal. The one thing I cannot find is the required size. The 3 options I have found are a 5w, 10w & 27w However, LED bulbs often require a load resistor to function properly. A load resistor is an electrical component that is used to correct the voltage drop that occurs when using LED bulbs. One important component to consider when adding LED headlights to a vehicle is the load resistor. How do I know if I need an LED resistor or canceler cable? When installing LED fog or signal lamps, you will encounter problems on some vehicles with computer-managed electronics due to the difference in power used between standard halogen bulbs and LED bulbs. These instructions are the same for the left side and right side directional signal lights. 1) Lay down on your back with your head resting on the ground just underneath the front right headlight of your vehicle, with your legs and body sticking out of the front of your car. See the photo below, look upward behind the front bumper to the right FD2tJH.
