Thread: Quick note on LED turn signals

I wanted to replace my ugly incandescent bulb on my nx because I purchased clear turn signal lenses. I noticed after I purchased a set of 1156 24x LED bulbs, that such a small amount of power is needed to run these, that the light system thought the bulb was burnt out, and flashed much much faster than normal.

After doing some research, I found out 2 things.
1) The wiring on my nx was backwards. I had to splice and switch the wires to get the light to work
2) In order to put the led in and fool the system in thinking there is a normal light there, one has to put in a resistor that can a) handle the heat while b) doing said function. So, one has to wire a resistor into the positive lead. I found out the 6ohm 50watt resistor is adequate for said job.

For those who upgrade their lighting to an led system, this should prove useful.
