Your too cool, I was going to suggest the "dielectric grease" but you have things under control. I live in very wet condition country, K Falls Oregon, and everything gets greased with this stuff, it keeps the water out and won't eat up rubber items. It also helps with my window repairs and was my industrial secret until now. I had no idea LED's would be available, Thanks for the "Heads Up" it will save more than just a few dollars. The Police use tail and license plate lights out, as a "Probable Cause" for pull overs out here, and this makes me so happy. Kudos Chris, your really covering ground that I as a retired ASE Master Mechanic had no idea existed.

I actually like that you’re using LEDs for your car because one, they last longer than incandescent or halogens, and second, they draw less power. One thing to keep in mind is that because of the difference in load that LED bulbs take compared to either of the other two I mentioned, you might need to do more for your turn signals, and I speak from experience. When I was shopping at an auto parts store, I saw that one of the aftermarket accessories they sold were load resistors. I was curious about that and checked out the description on the packaging, and they’re meant to be attached to the same line as turn signals to take the kind of load required so the turn signal relay doesn’t act like there’s either no bulb in a certain socket or that a bulb burned out. I bought a set immediately with the LEDs so that I wouldn’t have to take an extra trip, and a test with the LED bulbs alone showed that I was right to get the resistors. For a while, after installing both the LEDs and the resistors, everything worked great until eventually the turn signal relay started acting up. The turn signals would turn on, but not blink at all unless the hazard flasher switch was used. After checking the fuses and doing some research, I determined that it was indeed the relay that had a problem. So after doing more research and pulling out the relay, I showed it to an employee at an auto parts store and he immediately led me to where the part was, and I picked out one that was actually compatible with LED bulbs. After installing it, I dared to try it out without the load resistors. Thankfully it actually worked, which meant that I could remove the resistors and save them for when I installed LEDs in one of my family’s other vehicles. The wiring in the car was resealed afterwards. So anyway, I told that story to bring up this point: If you’re going to use LEDs on your turn signals, whether or not the brake lights also function as the turn signal lights, make sure you get the necessary accessories in case they don’t work properly at first. Also, based on how confident you are about working on your own car, if said accessories are required, you can either add resistors to the wiring, which is easy enough, or you can leave the wiring alone and do research on your vehicle to find where the relay is and what model range it is before looking for the LED-compatible equivalent, assuming it exists. Other areas with a bulb most likely won’t need such modifications because all they do is direct current through a circuit without interruption (headlights, fog lights, brakes if they’re not attached to a turn signal, map lights, etc.).

In my car lots of interior and some exterior lights use this same kind of light bulb, so I also got a pack of these from eBay really cheap (directly from Hong Kong, not local re-sellers who 10x the price). I had to get Canbus error-free ones, they simply have resistor added. The only different light bulb was passenger dome light, it was elongated shape bulb, but that can also be found in form of LED, so I replaced that too. Cool thing is that there is many shapes and kinds of these light bulbs that will all fit this socket. So if there is more room in the light housing, you can fit a longer or wider bulb that will be even brighter. Or one that emits lights in all directions, not just one. Even parking/side lights are using this kind of bulb in my car so replacing them gives nice white light instead of yellowish one.

It's not allowed to use a different light source than what the vehicle came with - if there is a 5 watt tungsten bulb you cannot replace that with a 1 watt LED or whatever else. Even if the lumens match. And vise versa, if there's stock LED's you can't use anything else. The primary 'reason' (i.e. bullshit) they say is the light comes in different direction - with a bulb it's coming from one point to every direction, whereas a LED chip only emits in 30°-90° range. And that might cause glare and danger to other drivers. So they say, at least...

I switched the bulbs out for a pair of Sylvania LED mini bulbs and they really light up my license plate. Along with the license plate bulbs, I replaced most of the bulbs on my truck with LEDs. That was all for the extra safety measure because LEDs are brighter and you don't have to change them as often.

As for the polarization on LEDs (the reason it's possible to put them in backward), I've found that it helps to look at the leads and wires before installing. The black wire is pretty much guaranteed to be ground on anything lighting related, so make sure the negative lead is on the same side as it. On most bulbs, the positive lead will be a little bit thinner, and usually slightly longer. Oh, and compare bulb sizes BEFORE installing them. I ended up having to sand off the top SMD on my set before I could fit them in my license plate housings, all because I didn't bother to check on dimensions. The fact that it didn't destroy them and that they're still working to this day continues to baffle me.

Another issue with these cheap LEDs is the inconsistent power consumption. In most cases the wattage is way off than the one mentioned.

Do you know why it takes a second for the hids to go on? is it cause the box needs to charge it or do i wire something wrong?
@chrisfix10 жыл бұрын
Yea, the charge has to build up. There is a capacitor in the ballast that builds up voltage to start the light up.

Chris question is the a fuse for License plate light for a 2010 Nissan Sentra? Second question is their a fuse for the same car for the 3rd brake light?
@chrisfix10 жыл бұрын
Marvin Brunson Yes, there is a fuse for every electric piece on a car. You need fuses to prevent fires and damage to wiring and electronics. Check out your owners manual. Many times the smaller lights are grouped together on one fuse.

additional info, if the lights are not ON when u turn on the switch, take the LED out and turn it around and install it again. LED has +ve and -ve terminal, if you placed the terminals the other way round, it won't lit up. there are various type of LED bulbs, the one used in this video shd be LED code 912... and the bulb size is called T10.. i've been using LED bulbs for all my T10 bulbs.. these LED can last really really realllllly long... there's one i have been used it for more than 10 years!!!!! and still functioning.
