Curing LED Turn Signal Conversion Problems
This apparently cures automotive manufacturer's morphidite flasher tantrums that go into Charles Manson mode when a person converts from incandescent to LED turn signals. http://ledguy.net/store/in...

I love it on these extremely narrow Mexican roads when I see one headlight coming at me. Which is it - the driver's side or passenger's side headlight I am seeing?
I have fitted 310 watts of halogen lighting to my little car. 200 of which are 80/100 Hella 9004 bulbs. OK, I hear forum participant's screams of outrage all the way down here.
Darwin rules down here. All the cattle have mutated. They now have asphalt colored hides. You hit one you die in a toad.
The 2 55-watt spot driving lights are only used when I cannot see a car - their lights, head or tail.
The headlights are aimed correctly. How do I know? Proof is in the pudding. I pass several thousands of cars here and in the USA and never get flashed. Never means NOT ONCE.
Mexican buses love to cruise at 80 mph. Have a burned out tail light? You may have a DINA bus emblem riding in your back seat before you can blink an eye.
To me, LED lights in the rear is solely for durability. A damned turn signal bulb gets a lot less hours accumulated on it than the LED dome light in the living room. Seems to make a "slight" difference in the probability of having a lamp fail in the course of a year or three.
Auto makers got away from 1157 bulbs in the 1990's. Why? The bulb reliability was getting too high. Why sell an 157 bulb for 59 cents every five years when you can sell a three dollar bulb every year or two? Newer bulbs seem to be getting more reliable. I'd better run out now and scream at my car because the new-fangled (now dollar and a half) incandescent bulb failed on me going home night before last. That makes the sixth bulb in four years. Operating voltage at the bulb is 13.89. Been there, done that. LED's are in the mail as I write.
