What did you do to your car today?

[invader166]

Couple of days ago I replaced the original antenna with a shorter one and painted it blue to match the colour of the car. I also repaired the interior dome light switch. (cheers to CTScott for providing with a spare cover )

Yesterday I replaced the tail light bulbs with 7443 LEDs. Looking nice and crisp! I also repaired my trunk LED light. (was flickering whenever I'd hit the side of the trunk because of a loose connection)

Today I washed the car and changed the signal lights with another set of 7443 LEDs. Now I've run into the hyper-blinking issue. Will have to buy an LED turn signal flasher now to fix this problem.

If we could change bulbs at the wing turn signals, and put led in there, hyper flashing wouldnt be a problem.



Also, can you post a pic with the leds on? Today I'll try to change them too.... Also, your turn signals are 7443? Mine are 7507 (with offset).

Sorry for the late reply, here are some pictures.

All brake lights converted to led: (sorry, not the best picture ever)



Here is the driver side signal light:



The passenger side signal light:



And here is the bulb itself:

Did you need a resistor for the turn signals? Do they rapid flash?

They do flash rapidlly. Haven't added any resistors yet. So far, I've ordered a new signal flasher, and will try to replace the original one once it arrives.

Let me know how the flasher relay works. I tried this on one of my jeeps and the led flasher relay didn't work all that well so I just went back to conventional bulbs.

Success! The new flasher relay arrived today. I just finished the swap moments ago and tested it. No more hyper-blinking turn signals. No need for resistors either. Extra points for being a cheap and a direct plug-and-play mod. Now I'll have to see how long it lasts for. (hopefully for the life of the car)
