I'm looking to change my rear turn signal bulbs to red LED's. I came across these bulbs on superbrightleds.com and I was wondering if I'll need resistors to make these bulbs work correctly without throwing error signals.

Any and all input is appreciated.

Thank you!

No sure, but you may get iDrive errors. Pm Member john@motorcepts. He's the lighting guru on this forum.

Yes. Unless you get your car coded you will need resistors. I suggest to get your car coded. And get white LED turn signal bulbs.

White rear turn signal bulbs are illegal. White fronts maybe okay but that depends on the state.

Hey bud,
If you want to save yourself from trouble with burning resistors spend your money the right way.

I have installed these on my a couple of cars and people LOVE it.

Talk to the guy, or search his listing if you want other colors
