Has anyone replaced there halogen tail light bulbs with led? If so, which ones did you use and did you need to add a resistor?

You will need a programmer to fix the hyperblink and alarms for at least the turn signal.

If I remember correctly the bulbs plug in both ways but only illuminate one way so test them before you bolt the housing back in.

Diode dynamics also sells the bulbs, they cost a little more but I’m sure are much better quality. I didn’t really care for the turn signals and all that. As soon as diode dynamics come out with an LED headlight bulb I will be buying it though.

Thank you. By programmer would the JL Tazer work? Did you use that?

Yes the Tazer JL will normalize the bulb out warnings and hyper flash, but the Lite version will not.

I have the superships flashcal and it worked fine. I don’t have experience with any of the others.
