Thread: LED 1156 and 1157 bulbs.

I have noticed since I had my corner blinkers covered in amber film that the standard 1157 bulbs are not as bright as I would like them to be.

So I was thinking about going with multi led bulbs but I don't want them to hyper blink. What is the way to get around this or are there newer LED 1157s out there that don't require to wire in a resistor?

Thanx for any info.

RESISTORS my friend, resistors! Haven't found another alternative.

So doesn't a resistor have to be wired inline with the socket?

no a resistor can be wired into the wire if you use this one

Does it matter power or ground which is gets wired to?

yes it matters one need ground one need power iirc from the sentra
