A while back I installed some new headlights in my 02 Durango, and it was mostly a stock conversion and everything worked, however the lights were total crap..

So for my Bday my brother got me a new set, however the new ones only have a 1 running/blinker/hazer lamps as opposed to the old ones which had a spot for two.

With the wiring setup I have ive got the blinker/hazard/running lamp setup to blink correctly, however it still blinks really fast since 1 bulb from the line is missing and there is not place for a second..

My question is, is it possible to put a resistor in the socket in place of the missing bulb? if so, what Ohm res should I use?

Open to other suggestions.

Ive tried my google Fu at this but havent had much time to really check.. would appreciate quick responses.

 

just put a bulb into the socket and leave it tucked in there, it will provide the resistance you need and not make and visual difference

 

I've seen this before and I think the member soldered the leads together on the same bulb. Don't remember for sure tho.

 

well, I took one of the unused bulbs out and hooked it up to my volt meter and found that its ~2 Ohms, yes 2... So I dug around in my box-o-component but couldnt find one, so im gonna have the wife pick up a pack from Radioshack tomorrow on her way home from work.

Alternately, my dad told me about replacing the flasher with a heavy-Duty flashed which may also solve it.. But chances are Im gonna have to put the repair on hold till next weekend..

Thnx for the replies

 

lol... or just tell everyone your blinkers on speed :P
