wow, did i ever get thrown. i guess i just couldn't believe that the turn signals would be blue and you see a lot of headlights that are blueish...never even occurred to me that the blue lights were in the turn signal location.

anyway, looks nice frenchy.

Well, all you had to do was think of your headlight configuration. Haha.

Problem solved. lol

Thanks though

lol..yeah, i know. in fact, i could've just looked at the little pic of the front of my truck off to the left of every one of my posts.

go ahead, continue laughing.

how hard was the switch to LEDs...did you have to add load limiters so they don't blink 50,000 times per second?

Ya, that I did.

I hooked the resistors up to the correct wires on the left, ground and the other, and on the left side I hooked it up to the wrong one, ground and then the one I didn't need. It took all of, half hour to test and do it

load resistors are hard to install, and aren't the best idea. I have load resistors on mine and all, but from what I found out is that even with those you're will using 25w or so of power instead of just the small 1-2w for LEDs. An electornics professor a while back told me to look into sense resistors, they would fool the computer on the truck to thinking it's using the 25w, without using the 25w. But all of our trucks need some type of resistor spliced into the system...how it's done: you snip a small piece of the wire tubing back without cutting the wire (use wire splitters). Do this once on the + and - wires and then put each end of the resistor on each wire then seal it with liquid electrical tape, it is a butt to install, about 10min per turn signal..could be worse!

You can do that, ORRRRRR, you can seperate the housing that the turn signal comes from, pull the little tab, and pull them apart, then inside there are three little holes, turn the running lights on, and test each one of those openings..

Thats what I did, and no wire was exposed.

yeah you test t in the socket to see which one you will connect the load resistors to, you want them on the turn signal circuit rather than the running lights cercuit like what frenchy said...
