white one with a really wide angle to it... something super powerful too.

BA15 High Power 1156/1157 3 Watt LED Bulb Specifications

something like this but i havent personally tested these yet

Just a warning to others swapping their cluster bulbs to leds. The large ones with multiple led boxes on it (such as the ones I got from Liu) are a bit too large to fit some b14 clusters in one of the spots. With the cluster flipped over onto its face the one farthest to the right can press into the clear plastic light distribution tab on the fuel gauge, causing the face to press up onto the needle making it inoperable. I fixed this after thinking my fuel gauge was bad by removing the fuel gauge and clipping about .5" off of the tab. Not as complicated as it seems. I was scared to death of opening my cluster until I actually did it.

Some vehicle are funny. You might need to wire a resistor so that the flashing relay will work properly.

That's one option, you can use load resistors with the stock flasher... or replace the flasher with one designed for use with LEDs. I replaced the flasher myself, been workin just fine with no resistors or anything

mine never had that problem

did somebody have done this to a classic i'm very interested on converting to LED the whole lightning of my car and mostly interested on turn signals and this thing about the flasher makes me doubt about it? SUBSCRIBED just want the answer to make the flasher work with leds or the replacement unit for LED BULBS!

you can always use load resistors with your stock flasher

is there any specification to make that work? or just ask for a load resistor in the electronics store?
