I just installed leds in my front parking lights, now the damn fuse keeps on blowing! has anyone else had this problem? all I replaced were the 2 turn signal bulbs, left the corner ones alone for now, I figure I need load equalizers, but my old max didnt blow fuses and i never put equalizers on them, they just blinked faster. Is this my problem or is it something else?

 

I don't see y that would be happening. They are not turn signal bulbs they shouldn't be blowing out on you. Also LED's draw less power than the regular bulbs so I don't see why that would be blowing a fuse. Unless the fuses are blowing cause they are drawing less power then the usually do and they blow to protect the wiring from the change in the current??? Maybe you need a smaller fuse IMO

 

Since they are not turn signals, this sounds like a problem with the LED bulbs themselves. Have you swapped the bulbs themselves?

 

Some of the 6th gen owners who did this needed to install Current Limiting Resistors.

 

Make sure you are not touching the bulbs themselves, I'm sure you know this but sometimes we get a little careless when we are doing things that are second nature.

The oils from our fingertips cause a coating over the bulb which when hot will burn through the inner core of the bulb housing and cause the bulbs to burn out.
I hope that this is the only problem.

 

I though that only effected the headlight and fog light bulbs and what not. Not the like 194 bulbs and what not. Those bulbs are pretty much impossible not to touch to put on and take out of where ever they are.

 

It is recommended when you are working with any lights that you wear a thin glove of sorts so that you don't get oil from you fingers onto the surfaces. Any light surface will wear faster with any type of oil(s) on them no matter how durable they are.

Yes, these bulbs are tiny but that's why you should be even more careful when handling them as they have less surface area to cover and the oil(s) from your fingers will smear them quickly and blow them out faster.
