Anyone have LED running lights in there cars? If so, how'd you get them to work?
I got mine in the mail today and went to install them. I did the PS first, amd it lit up fine with the LED in the PS and a Filament bulb in the DS. So I went to change the DS and when I get the LED in, both PS and DS did not work. Checked all the fuses and they were fine, and when i put both filament bulbs in they both lit up. Not sure why this is happeneing but Im guessing it has something to do with the small amount of power the LEDs take compared to filament bulbs. Anyone have any input, or a solution to get these to work?

To find out what sort of resistor is needed, you need to know how much power the LEDs draw (in watts) and the current (amps) in the line. you'll likely need a resistor for each bulb.
