? LEDs in exterior lights

[1990LTD]

I think I've read on here that you can't just pop LED bulbs in the signals, cornering lamps, brake lights etc without first making some sort of modification to their circuits.


Anyone know what this is about or am I remembering nonsense? I would like to use LEDs in everything that's not a headlight if possible.

I seem to remember something about going to an elctronic flasher, so they will flash... because the LED lights don't draw enough power to make the flashers work.

Here is a page about conversion questions from the company I bought my dash LED's from:

This should help...

Go for it. Electronic flasher as mentioned if you are changing all the signal bulbs, there is a thread in here specifally about that flasher, its in the thread title so you should be able to find it quick enough.
