Hello,

It says the bulbs are already LED. Here are the part numbers and instructions on how to change the brake light and running light bulbs which show the LED's:

12v16w - 33506S8RN51 $5.68
12v21w Amber - 33303SCK003 $6.23

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Hello again.

Okay, here is what I found out. Your bulb for the rear blinker is based off the part number 7440A . Sylvania does make an LED bulb available at any parts stores. I've attached the stock bulb and the LED bulb below. If you want to go off Ebay or Amazon like the pictures you included then you will have to base it of the bulb number 7440A as I stated . Hope this helps and thanks gain for using 2CarPros.

Hey there, so I installed these LED blinkers but they make my blinkers blink too fast? Do I need a resistor or something? I don't know what to do.

We are going to need to experiment a bit with the resistance to get the computer to blink at the correct rate. lets try a 5 ohm first to see how must it changes. Please let us know what happens.

Hello again.

Yes, whenever you install LED's you will have to change the turn signal flasher to be LED compatible . Sometimes like in your situation if not it will make them flash too fast. I will look up the NOVITA flasher part number for you.Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

Just found out that your flasher is built into the BCM (body control module) So you shouldn't replace it that way. Sylvania makes a load equalizer to solve your problem.They are available at AutoZone, Napa, etc., as well as online.They run about $15.00. You can Google the name and it shows a YouTube video on how to install. I've attached a picture below.Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
