Question LEDS In Front Clear Corners

Can i put a set of amber LEDS in my front clear corner parking signals, would it look ok? and will they still blink no problem with them in there?

i think there might be some issues there...may run in to some problems if you just want to plug and go. may need some modifications

You'll need to switch over to an electronic flasher.

What about the small bulb that goes on the side of the corner? Would some modification be needed for that as well?

Any bulb that blinks needs to have some type of adapter so they will still blink. I'm not sure where this goes, I got that far in my investigation and didn't want the trouble lol.

I don't think so either but I couldn't remember. I just bought the Silverstar bulbs for the ones that blink. They have that mirror kinda finish so it's not an orange bulb.

when using led's for flashers you can do either of two things

1) buy and install a load equalizer (around $25 for all four corners)

2) buy an electronic flasher ( maybe $5)

it is much cheaper and faster to get an electronic flasher.

as for the little bulbs, try one out and see if the blinkers still work.

If you're referring to Midnight, his mod list seems pretty decent from his sig. If you're referring to me I got my clear corners as a gift so I really don't have any money in this "light mod". Thanks for your help though!

well i checked this morning and saw that when the signal is on only the big bulb blinks and the little one stays on regardless, so i will see if they make a nice amber led, if not i might have to go with white
