I was just wondering what is the difference between regular and LED lights for my turn signal?
LEDs are not really "brighter"... they're more intense. some can nearly blind you when looking at them directly head-on, but move it just a few degrees to the side and it will disappear. sorta like a laser... a really narrow viewing angle. you can diffuse an LED with some sort of lens, the frosted style for example, and you can see it from a wider angle, although it will be significantly dimmer than head-on. one cool possibility i noticed while messin' around with my car was that putting yellow LEDs in the rear turn signal lens still came out yellow! that's how intense LEDs are -- so i'm trying to hook some up to the rear blinker so it will blink yellow, but the lens will still remain red.
do they make them to replace the 7443 bulbs? (front blinker)
I've seen a place that has 7443 LED replacements... somewhere online.
But also with LED replacement bulbs... the resistance on your blinker system goes way down.
I.E. Instant hyper blinker.
When I put in some replacement LED's for my rear turn signal, I had already had a DIY hyperblinker running, and with the LED's in place, the damn thing turned into a strobe light. just guessing, but it was probably around 10-15x
So now, I'm adding resistance to my "hyper" blinker to keep that speed down.
