Yes, just put a resistor of the same, or slightly less value, as the light which was replaced with the LED, in parallel with each new LED. Make shure to have the correct wattage for your load resistors.Originally Posted by Jones![]()
Remember that you'll have to change flasher units since LEDs don't draw enough current to trigger a standard unit.
Here's a picture of Truck-Lite's unit.
I'm not sure about a mixed system either, if you're only planning the change the taillights.
Last, the LED flashers I've found so far aren't "omni-volt" (10 - 30 vdc), they're either 12 vdc or 24 vdc, not both.
I have a friend who installed only the rear LED lamp assemblies and flashers worked fine for a few days. Now they are intermittent or not working at all.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Other than buying a Truck-Lite flasher is there another solution? Perhaps a resistor wired into the circuit to give more load on the flasher... Any thoughts on the matter?
