Yo! I tried searching but could not find an answer on the forum. I have rear LED turn signals from the previous owner, but the front are still the incandescent bulbs in the housing that sticks out pretty far. I'm not a fan of the front turn signal design, so I was thinking about going with some three wire flush mount LED turn signals for the front. Will this work okay? Do I have to get a LED compatible relay? Basically, I'm just going to leave the lights alone unless I can just wire up a three wire light in the front very easily.

Thanks!

 

Hi!


yes

Sure, that'll work. Difficult to find 3-wire LED lights though.

Easiest to put plugs onto those LED lights so they plug directly into stock harness. No hacking up harness needed, no wire-splicing needed. Just plug and play. Can also go back to factory lights easily for troubleshooting.

Ah bummer. I'm too lazy to replace the relay. I'll just keep it the way it is. Thanks!

 

You don't need to replace the relay, but you will need to install some load resistors. I have LED signals in the rear, flush-mount incandescent up front and these work perfect:

 

Heh heh... I've found it's easier to install flasher relay than 4x power-resistors. Cheaper too!

 

What happens if you don't install resistors or new flasher? Will it just hyper flash? Or not work properly?

Thanks guys!

 

I'm a total noob--where is the flasher relay?

 

Here's 1st video I found, there's probably better ones or write-ups here with photos.


whichever lights you get, I highly suggest installing proper connectors on them to make installation plug & play. DO NOT hack up factory harness. Will cause additional problems and you'll be wasting tonne of time try to figure out why it's not working. Could be bad light, or bad wiring hack. Change as little as possible and you can always plug back in factory lights to troubleshoot.

2-wire plug for rear


3-wire plug for front

 

Just a follow up: The LEDs work fine, just hyper flash. I doubled up turn signals, so I can be seen well. I kept the stock wiring, and just plugged into the bullet connectors.

 

Good job!!!

Ah, forgot that F3 had bullet connectors. Let's see some photos of your doubled-up turn-signals!!!
I'm going to replace my left-hand controls to one that has emergency-flasher function for when I'm splitting.
