Led in front turn signal!!!!!!
I want to use an led bulb in my front turn signal and it won't work. I have tried putting one in the rear turn signal and it works perfectly fine. I bought 2 load equalizers for each side and that didn't help....Any thoughts?

O and yes the bulbs do work if anyone were to ask......

turn signal...hmm...relies on a 'flasher' relay in most cars. Don't know the Max one but it is likely that it may be the same type that uses a bimetallic strip activated by heat, to turn the flashers on and off. LEDs take a lot less current than the ordinary bulbs, I imagine that's what you meant by 'load equalizers'. These are extra resistors that draw some power to make the bimetal strip work normally. You have to connect them IN PARALLEL with the bulbs, not in series. Did you wire them properly?

I believe so one end goes to the positive and the other end goes to the ground...I worked for slowing down myt rear turn signal to the normal speed but the fronts still don't work.

now it flashes faster...blinks twice as fast..
any one know how to make it normal...
