Re: LED Thread!
Okay, so after figuring out that my dome light does not use the 31mm festoon bulb I just picked up a 12 LED 41mm bulb and this is the approximate same length of the original stock bulb that was already in there. My problem now is that this new festoon bulb seems to a tad less in width and does not fit as snug as the stock one did. Can the silver metal clips be pushed closer or adjusted in some way or do I need to go shopping yet again?

Hi Folks,
I am new to the forum and have a couple of questions with regards to led lights. I recently placed led lights in my 08 Civic. They look awesome except for a couple of problems. The flashers do the quick flash deal, and I was wondering if it would be better to put in a load resistor or a new LED flasher unit. From what I have read, it seems that the new LED flasher unit would be better since you don't need to install the load resistors which can produce a lot of heat and melt plastic.
Also, when I placed the led lights into my brake lights, when you turn on the lights they would not turn on. Original bulbs were 5W and led light was 1W. Would I need to place a resistor in? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll post some pics once it is all done.
One nice thing about the led lights I got is that they have a lifetime warranty.
Thanks

I shop at ledoptions.com
Now if any body is reading this could u answer this question?
I ordered a 194 for my main (big) illumination light. I think its a 2 watt. Compared to the 74s which are 1 watt. It doesn't light up. I put it both ways and still nothing. It is like a 194 8 (tile) smd led and it fits but doesn't light. When I put the stock bulb in, it works. Anyone know why?
