i have rear LEd turnsignals and they work great(will post pics as son as my camera comes back)...my question.....i am replacing my fronts,they have the correct resistor,and are plugged into the correct terminals in the factory harness plug.i have a tridon EL-2 for the relay.when i plug the LEd signals in they don't illuminate or flask,yet if i plug in a glass bulb style light(OEM or otherwise) they work,whether the glass bulb lights are 2 or 3 wire it doesn't matter...the glass ones work and the LED's don't....any ideas?

thanks in advance.....

have you tested the leds on a seperate 12v
source? like conecting them to the battery?
just to make shure they work leds are very easily blown.

sorry.....forgot to mention that...yeah..they work just fine from a seperate power source...........

if they work on a separate source then you are not using the correct wires, don't use the blue wire and remember that the led have a + and a - (black).

ok...i figured out my problem.....seems the turn signal system is of the type that has to have resistance on it before the relay will make the turn signals flash.

by puting LED's all around it did not have enought resistance in it.so i made the little park lights the foward facing t/s.the whole thing looks awesome.

i'll post pics if anyone wants and as soon as i get my camera back from fuji.


thanks for the help
