I just bought some LEDs to install with the clear corners on my 2000. Now i was looking into the sidemarker rewire to make them blink with your front/rear blinkers. And a friend of mine said that hes pretty sure that the LEDs will light up a little faster than the front/rear turn signal bulbs; therefore, the timing of the lights blinking would be off. So does anyone here have the sidemarker rewire with LEDs in their corners and have this problem at all? Or even if you have any info whether a problem with the timing of the front/rear blinkers and the sidemakers LEDs could occur.

Your friend is correct. LED's draw less power than regular bulbs, therefore your car will think you have a blown bulb, and they will blink like the ricers do... I tried replacing my turn signal bubls in my tailights with LEDS and thats what happened .

 

I have amber led's in my clear front flashing corners and they work fine.
I know that LED's light faster (by miliseconds). But knowing that, and looking for that, you barely notice it. They also extinguish very slightly faster. No big deal, if you did not know, you would not notice.

 

Just what I needed to hear, I'll go for the rewire then, thx a lot

I missed your post somehow and saw the other guys first, but thx for the info, hopefully it'll turn out alright as it did for Mick Max. I plan to replace my turn signals bulbs in my taillights also, but not LEDs, suppose to be CLEAR bulbs which is what i want since i have the 00's red/clear with smoked surrounding. Didn't want to get a "super white" bulb where they ususally have that blue hint of color in there. So I'm hoping it'll turn out clean and not ricey.
