LED Bulb Conversion

[MikeW]

Hmm....

Ive been needing to get a soldering iron anyway....

[EJX_Michael]

Yeah! just cut and strip the 2 wires that go to the blubs and put the load eq across the two wires, than solder it all back together. Irons at RS are like 9 bucks.

If you were going to break out the iron, you would be better off retrofitting an electronic flasher in.

[EJX_Michael]

I suppose, But this is just twisting and soldering 8 sets of 3 wires... It seems cheaper and easier to me.

oh my gosh that is SEXY!! I HAVE to do this now! AND that clear conversion makes it over the top

Is it possible to compile all the info to date into a document of sorts so that it will make it easier on the newbs?

NO...you must read through all 98 pages!!! it is a right of passage

mods do that with their pages...but the OP could make a new thread...but...why really?

So I dont get why you guys are going out and installing "load equalizers"....cutting up your car?
Why dont you go out and buy the CORRECT turn signal relay?
I believe they call it "Heavy Duty"
You could have no bulbs plugged in and it still blinks normally.
One of the LED websites sells them for the Hondas, its like $30-$40

[MikeW]

Equalizers are like $12. Why spend $30, $40+ ?

Hey! Instead of spending $13 for load equalizers at autozone, you can just pick up the same 7.5 ohm resistor at radioshack for like 99 cents. The only difference is you have to solder it.

Your solution is "3 Pin Electronic LED Flasher Blinker Fix Turn Signal "
Located above fuse box thats under stering wheel and its only $9 why in the world you need to get those expensive load equalizers for all bulbs.

And, what, does that just plug in under the dash?

This one should b/c its rectangular like one that cb7 has, but mine were square and it would not fit to original socket, so i had to run 3 wires with connectors to make it fit.

It say japanese cars and it looks like one cb have.
