Title: LED's?
Post by: Ccemn1 on September 28, 2017, 02:26:09 PM
I recently purchased a Fiero based, IFG Diablo, and I'm replacing the lights with LED's. I did the rear brake & tail lights first, with no problems.
When I replaced the front turn signal/parking lights with the 1157 equivalent in LED's, the turn signals don't work anymore, front, or back.
When I put the incandescents back in the front, everything works fine again.
I'm guessing I need to use a different LED compatible flasher or something? I've tried to figure out where the flasher is, but it's darn near silent & can't find it?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'd think you will need an LED flasher as it's a load resistance thing.  Don't quote me on that, but I've run across a few people that had this issue while swapping to LED's (but I'm not 100% sure what they did to fix it).  Maybe someone else can chime in for 2nd opinion?  As for the location, check here...

There are going to be two flashers, one for the signals and one for the hazard lights (even though the lights are the same ones). I think Thumper's manual is going to say that both of them are on the fusebox. DelCity #73970 or #73975, they just plug in.
