dapiper Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Found this site that has LED replacement for incandescent bulbs. Anyone tried this? Would be great in dash to brighten up legibility, especially during twilight. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fled_prods.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Haven't seen any of those. Gotta becareful since a lot of parts like these may not be very well made. Not to mention The Z's Blinker system runs on an impedance basis, so having bulbs like these may affect the function or your lights, not to mention of the current draws are higher, you could start blowing fuses, or worse, burning wires. That being said, I would really like to see some pictures of how these look on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeause Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Don't led lights take less power to run? A buddy of mine put leds in his 240sx dash and it turned out pretty cool looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash542001 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Tried them and they sucked balls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yes LED's take less power, which as I said before could lead to issues, particularly with the Flasher units for the blinkers. I guess this could be fixed by upgrading the flasher module to a newer type, but still, if they're not at least as good as stock, then why use them? Got any picts of how sucky they were Nash?

TrumpetRhapsody Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) I've got a set of those, just leave the incandescent ones in the signals since they're only on very briefly anyway. Not as bright as stock, but still bright enough to read. The dark spots aren't as noticeable in person. I have them in my autometer gauges too, so it all matches.

You can connect a load resistor in parallel to one of the indicator LEDs on each side of the car, that should give enough current for the stock flasher unit to switch.

GOTHALOSISM Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 They sell flasher units made for LED lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
