bumper light delete, hyper speed turn signals
Sunday, April 01, 2007 6:04 PM
Ok here's the thing after I put my new body kit on, I decided to delete my bumper lights, and this caused a few small irritations. One, now the turn signal indicators on my dash are always lit up green, and two, my signals flas at hyper speed. This really wouldn't bother me at all, except that I have sequencing turn signals on my mirrors, and the super fast flashing makes them look messed up. So now after a lot of thought, I came up with something that I think should work, but I wanted to know if anyone else on here had tried anything similar. I figure that if I put a resistor in place where the bulb used to be, I could "Trick the circuit into thinking the bulb was still there, but the question is this, what size resistor? Although I basically have a very good understanding of how things work, and can complete a simple circuit, I really don't know much about more complex aspects of the electrical part. If anyone has any insight as to what I can do, I would really appreciate the input. Please no half ass ideas though. I had a friend tell me to put the bulbs back in, wrap them up with electrical ape, and hide them in the fenders. NOT MY STYLE, I hate half ass jobs. anyway, thanks in advance

Happened to me, too. The bulbs are always on because the circuit is open now that there is a bulb missing...at least put in a bulb and leave it dangling...that fixed both problems for me...

grote 5 pin flasher for leds. it tricks the system into thinking there's enough of a load to keep it from flashing so fast. the fast flashing is actually there to let you know you have alight out.

I just did what one org.member said and zip-tied them to the side of my Drift front,so you can't really see the bulb but at night it looks pretty cool with the orange glow comin out from the bottom but I had to wrap everything so when I wash the car I'm not blowing bulbs.
