Yeah, Sun, they're true HIDs with ballasts. I put the ballasts inside the fender walls to be out of the way and kept relatively vibration free ansd not to get in contact with water.

Run, it's true, you can run any temp bulbs you want. The ballasts are there just for start up.

 

Jealousy and name-calling??? I'm so there with popcorn and soda!

 

Oh snap! Its Dodge Vs Dodge this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY at the Ford Amphitheater (get the irony lawlz)

Any who them bitches get in today supposedly, so im not looking forward to the install with the weather as cold as its been. But I will do it anyway because well its my truck damnit and I want it now!

 

Well I got my new headlighs in. Got them installed but one of the ballasts was bad So the company is shipping a new conversion kit. However the stock bulbs and what not work, but the blinkers flash extremely fast like there is a burned out bulb. Not sure what is causing that. The headlight does have angel rings and LEDs but I'm pretty sure they are connected to the daylight wire not the blinkers. But im not 100% on that.

 

Run, you need a resistor for the LED blinkers. The other experts can chime in on that one.

 

Well when it comes to electrical things never work out the way I want them too . Gimme some new cams, heads, and intake plenum ill be golden. So resistors eh, ballasts bad no resistors in the kit, I'm gonna create human right violations in china.

(Oh wait that happens all the time, even Google is outa there hahaha.)

 

LOL! They never include the resistors for the directional LEDs. I'm still waiting for an electrical guru to chime in.

 

the resistors would definetly be needed in line with the LEDS, but they will also cause a voltage drop which means the LEDS wont be at the correct voltage, the overall resistance of the circuit is what controls the speed at which your turn signals flash

in order to slow them down you need a resistor in parallel with the LED in order to increase the resistance of the circuit, but inorder to keep the speed constant you need to calculate the correct value of the resistor to add, you need to know a couple of things
1. the resistance of the original circuit (all the bulbs that are connected to the plug, you could probably measure it with an ohm meter on the original harness that was in the light)
2. the resistance of the new led lights that are going to be the flashers
3. the equation that 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/R0 where R0 is the resistance in the circuit before you put LEDs in, and R1 is the resistance of the LEDs that are in the circuit now and R2 is the resistor that you are looking to add (R2=(R0*R1)/(R1-R0)) if you dont trust me on that you can solve the equation for R2 yourself

i believe that this should solve your fast blinker problem, but do the work at your own risk

yes i just finished taking two courses on this type of stuff (circuits and systems and Electricity and Magnetism)

Sharp, Silly me... I thought you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. LOL!!!
