this guys clocks seem very bright and red is this the effect that can be achieved from LED bulbs or do you think they may be aftermarket Dials/Clocks?

[hmmmnz]

[hmmmnz]

dunno, whos barry??
i say its worth changing the bulbs to leds any way, just for the amount of power you save, and the fact they will last for 10000 hours or more,

i prefer the blue look myself

im planning to upgrade to xenon front headlights and sidelight, maybe throw in a blue wedge or red wedge for sidelight not sure yet, upgrade all my indicators to LEDs my clocks to red LED's, all my intrument panel to the equivalent LED and the brake lights to LED bulbs. dunno if i'll run into the fast flash problem or not.

you may have a problem there!
dont quote me on it but the electrics on an nsr are not powerfull enougth to run even 2 sets of led indicators let alone the rest

i fitted rear LED indicators then a week or so later front LEDs and they would only flash when i revved the engine as the battery wasnt powerfull enougth to run two sets?

i may be corrected but i believe this is the case!

how can you said twice stupidities ! do you know leds use about 1/100 of a classic bulb. i've replace all my dashboard , clocks lignting, even side lights and tail lights and i gain 40w on my total consumption . exemple the T5 wedge from dashboard are 20mA and a classic 1,7W are 140 mA

so why wouldnt the indicators flash with two sets of LEDs? but would with one led and one bulb?

if you can shed any light on the problem i will be gratefull

[alains]

all winker relay are built to work with a specific power . it can be 20,40 or special for leds . so you look which power is written on the relay and total power of bulbs on ONE SIDE must be the same + - 15% . leds need special relay , you will find those with the link i gave above
