What is the maximum current for an LED?
20mA
The LED current must be less than the maximum permitted for your LED. For standard 5mm diameter LEDs the maximum current is usually 20mA, so 10mA or 15mA are suitable values for many circuits. The current must be in amps (A) for the calculation, to convert from mA to A divide the current in mA by 1000.
When do you change your turn signal to led?
Hyper-flashing, also known as rapid flash or hyper flash, it’s the most common phenomenon that occurs when you change your turn signals to LED lights.
How to install load resistors for LED turn signal lights?
There is a little more trial and error involved with the wiring. We recommend you tap the load resistor between the most vivid wire color (usually the brighter/blinker) and the least wire color (usually negative). In this tutorial, we are going to try to tap the resistor the red and black wires. Test the turn after the wires are tapped.
Where are the bulbs on a turn signal?
Tracking down a loose wire or a ground that isn’t grounding can be a pain in the neck. But let’s get to it. In order to replace your bulbs, you had to access the back of the turn signal housings. Also in this location, you’ll find the plugs that connect your tail lights and front turn signals to the car’s electrical system.
Do you need a flasher for an LED turn signal?
Yes, even if you go with LED bulbs in your turn signals you will still either need a replacement flasher relay or load resistors across each LED turn signal bulb.

How can I change my lights from incandescent to led?
You’ll see this menu on the left-hand side of the screen. Select the color (or colors) of your choice, and the displayed products will be delivered in the results. If you are replacing front and rear turn signal bulbs to LED, be aware that many vehicles use a flasher unit that is designed to work with incandescent bulbs.
