eskyseal281 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I was given a set on 3157A turn signal bulbs that are LED. Friend got them for his 97 GT for front side markers, but then decided to go different route. Is it safe to run these as a replace for my 3157A standard type bulbs? Friend said they were from...auto zone, lol....so not 100% sure on quality. Thoughts? Ideas? random rants? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPVinyl Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yes, only real difference is they draw a lot less amperage than a traditional filament type bulbMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskyseal281 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 holly fast blinking turn signals batman....that might be an issue. Damn those LEDs, they looked good, but they are like blinkers on crap...any way around this? I saw american muscle has some raxiom kit....but got royally screwed by them a few times....think stock ones are going back in oh and in case anybody is going to by the raxiom domelight kit (LED) DONT buy it. only the fooson style works on our 94-98s. the other two bulbs dont work...(mom had a burnt out 3rd brake light in her chrysler van.,..fit just fine, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPVinyl Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Since the LED pulls less power the flasher thinks there is a burned out light. If your car does not already have an electronic flasher then you can try that, otherwise you can solder a resistor in the ground leg of the wiring.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 yeah i was going to say load resistors can be picked up at advance auto, the electronic flasher is good too but the one i heard i didn't like the sound it made lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
