just need an EL-12 flasher unit for the turn signals... should be it. never got around to the diode, and was going to redo them a lil differently when i get back from deployment

well, i did everything, including the EL12 Flasher and every single light in the car is flashing with the turn signals when parking lights are off, and nothing flashes at all when the parking lights are on... they do light up though.. only problem is turn signals..

any clue?

so whats the fix so that everything else doesn't flash?

It looks good, just shrink wrap the wires black..

if all of your lights are flashing, then your turn and parking lights are shorted out on each other.... just have to find out where they are touching at, separate, and all should be good

FrankSS: major prop's man that's a cool idea and looks pretty sweet to me i might try my hand at that when i get time, im going to try and tinker around with idea's but mainly use your idea and build around it from there. Now Either way man nice job looks good and be safe out there..

Thanks! Everything works great, no diodes, no load resistors, etc. All I needed was to separate my short in the bulb. The parking lights and turn signals have to be separated (in the bulb). And the only thing I made sure to have was that EL-12 LED Flasher unit. It had another number on it, but it's the equivalent.. Cf12.. something...

Good deal dude... Now post up some pics of them

I'll definitely get some pictures up on here, this weekend. It's not the prettiest job I've ever done (on the inside). But it still looks great and is functioning exactly as planned!

Yeah I read that can't wait to see! I was only searching for a pic of swapping LEDs for bulbs but found that a bulb will be brighter than a single led. But then saw this, looks alot better wish I could do it but I don't have the ends $ right now for that haha.

it will only cost you like $75-100 to make them. however, when i get my other set completed, i will be selling the pair i have on my car now

Going to bump this up. Thanks to FrankSS for this idea,
i went on search for empty bulb base/socket for 3157 bulb in our DRLs and found this.

I ordered it, and what it seems like I 'll be able to the wire the led strips into this base and plug into the factory drl socket.

so my next question is that since LEDs draw less power than regular bulbs, does the car think that a bulb is out since all the power isn't being used by a led strip that a regular bulb would use?


Will I again need a power resistor to keep the turn signals from "hyper flashing" as the LED's will draw far less current than the filaments did...

^^I just broke the glass on an old filament bulbs and used the base to wire my LED strips on both the 194 and 3157 sections...Worked like a charm

That's what I did too... But to slow down the flash rate, just get an electronic flasher unit... Will do the trick. I got mine from superbright led ...

Oh and as soon as I get moved into my new house I'll have my new set finished up
