led turn signals

Some websites recommend a pair of load resistors for LED turn signal lights. Will it work or burn out faster if I don't get load resistors?

Re: led turn signals

replace the flasher relay instead of going with load resistors. It's easier to do and more reliable than a load resistor.

Re: led turn signals

load resistors also draw the same power as a bulb, making the leds a waste of time and negating any power saving benefit. go grab the tridon EP34 LED flasher from the auto store and swap it with the stock one.
