Wait I'm retarded are you talking about the amber or the fog lamps..?

[nikon]

he's talking about the amber...these have been found before, and tried, problem with it is if you notice the drls on the fsc's the bulbs point outwards, in our cars, at least the maro's the bulb goes in from the top as you probably know and only shines down, they're not that bright in our cars because of this...your welcome to try it though...but now that I think about it, your bulbs point out too at least 98+...ok nevermind, just doesnt work on maro's then...screw you bird owners [img]tongue.gif[/img]

there is another problem i tried them once you need a resistor to operate the blinker otherwise it just blows the fuse unless they have the resistor built in you need to get one (that will save you some trouble)

[DarkEcho]

yeah i have heard of that issue, i will possibly get the load simulator they have or ill just wire in a resistor..

unessary, go to auto parts store of your choice and get a new signal relay, I forget the part #, it wont blow a fuse or anything, it just wont blink, you need to get the relay that doesnt have this feature...they make it for cars with trailer lights or something of that sort rigged into the factory harness so it defeats the non flashing problem, Ive had one in my car for about a year and it works just like factory, only problem is if you dont check your lights, you wont know when a bulb is out...do a search and you should be able to find the part# for it, if not bring in your original relay and match up the posts on it. I think it was like 8$ dont be tricked into getting a 40$ solid state flasher.

i have the sequential tailight mod, it came with a seperate flasher to elongate the flash intervals.. i wonder if it is an electrical flasher and not thermal... if it is electrical then i should have no problems right? i remember hearing that its because the flashers work differently... im not sure if i can buy a diff flasher though... anyways. ill see if they work with the new flasher, if not then ill look into this relay thing

[nikon]

when I say relay I mean flasher...same thing, but with the sequential tails where did you hook the flasher upto?..in the back by your taillights or did it replace the factory one?..if it replaced the factory one, you should be fine and have no problems...thats just one exaple for the uses of one of the flashers I was talking about. does it make your front flasher stay on really long though?

[DarkEcho]

yeah this flasher replaced the factory flasher in the center console area... and yes the front flashers stay on a little longer than usual i guess... it makes a more appealing noise though, not that clicking sound as if the factory flasher is going to break [img]smile.gif[/img]

k then your good to go, no more flashers needed, just plug em in, and walla ;) good luck, post pics when you got em in ;)

[DarkEcho]

will definately do, should have the bulbs in shortly, hopefully tomarow but probably friday haha...

[blackbyrd]

[DarkEcho]
