Just an FYI, each LED doesn't need a resistor if you wire your LEDs up correctly.

Cool write up. Ever consider just upgrading the lights in the undertail. Thats what I did and they are really bright. might make a good addition.

I'm new to wiring, could someone clue me in and be a little more specific on how to wire the blinkers into the existing wiring? do i just put all the negatives from both sides to the negative blinker and the positives to the positives? again, i'm new to wiring so keep it simple.

a crude wiring diagram would be superb if anyone has the time!

Couldnt you just solder all the led's inline and only use one resistor before the first one then wire the negative lead to the positive of the second led and just keep doing negative to positive through the whole chain of led's?


edit: i know its very crude to say the least but something like this?....

I got LEDs for my car off Oznium a few years ago and can also recommend them! Super cheap and great products - they're still working and it's been a solid 3-4years since they went in

(I am also in no way affiliated with that company)
