Re: License plate LED bulb upgrade

Jeff,

I've seen LED bulbs for signal and tail lamps at AutoZone. Was tempted to try them when I did the Euro lamp conversion but w 8 bulbs needed it was going to be a bit pricey.

Rear is no problem.. front side marker and front LED Turn signals are where the issue lies

When u say front side marker you mean cornering lamps, correct? Because I have LED in side running lights. Or are thise supposed to blink w front turn lights?

No, the amber light, not cornering. Cornering is a different circuit.
AMber will flash in sync with turn signal when parking lights are off. when parking lights are on, it flashes 'off' opposite when turn signal is 'on'

No the cornering lights are clear (white). They simply turn on which if you think about it is pretty cool for 80s tech. But no Dom those just turn on when you indicate the turn at the signal stalk. If you don't drive your Z at night or early morning like I do you may not even know that light is even there. GC

For wife's older Mercedes I converted all her bulbs to LED. The Mercedes had a DIC more up to date than that our 80s era cars however, with LEDS the car DIC would display error codes in the digital DIC unless the LED replacement bulbs you bought were sold as "non error" which means the bulbs were sold with a internal resister from the source to fool the DIC. So...... now with that being said has anybody here brooched the amber turn signal bulbs with amber non error bulbs to solve the problem. GC

I may do this when it's not 118 out here in Hellazona

Got it. To me, while nothing wrong with it, does not improve the load on the electrical.
