Guys i am looking to replace all the bulbs on the outside of the car with led bulbs(break lights,reversing,indicators,etc)with leds has anyone done this and what kind of leds do i need,Any info would be great.Thanks all

I had Phutumsch fit Cree led bulbs to my fog and reverse light positions , they work really well, indicators if memory serves will need a resistor fitting to get them to flash properly. I'm sure some of our lighting gurus will post advice soon.

I have replaced my reverse light bulbs with LEDs - they are certainly a lot better....

 

….As for brake lights (and rear lights) and indicators, I believe Ian has a point - the lower current draw from the LEDs will give you a bulb-out warning in the rears/brakes; and the indicators will flash erratically, as if you had a blown bulb. You can add a load resistor to mimic the draw from a standard bulb - but personally, I'd not bother and stick with normal indicators and rears....:wink:

I wouldn't bother personally as per Richard's comments plus the way LEDs defuse will give you light spots on things like indicators and rear lights.

Not necessarily! [emoji51]

 

BIG difference. Yours is an LED array, not a universal LED bulb replacement. :lol:

I tried replacement straight swap led bulbs they just didn't work so I put em back to std.
