Not so sure the LED DRL fix would work since they only receive 6v instead of the 12v needed to power most LED bulbs. Damn...

LockDots

What are you trying to fix? A relay harness would supply 12V to both bulbs.

mrsimeon

I have a batch of extra 0.12 ohm resistors.
I did my mod- to my relay-

If anyone needs resistors. I can mail them out to you-
Just pay a few bucks.

Is this the right resistor?

http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...uctId=12566016

I'm only asking because it looks different from the ones you guys use. The info is right but wasn't sure because it didn't look the same lol.

LockDots

It's 0.12Ω and 1W so you should be fine.

Thanks to Roger555 for this mod. I was able to perform it on my 08 TL -S with a .24 ohm 1 W resistor and have both front and rear LEDs. If anyone is uncomfortable soldering but wants this done, I bought extra resistors and can perform it for you for a few bucks (for shipping) , PM me!!

^^^ who is Roger555


he is da bomb....he has done couple great DIY's

Just did this yesterday. Work like a champ. Thanks for the DIY my friend

Remember if you put all four led turn signal youll need 2x resistors totalling .24 ohms

Weezy2328

what do I need for front switch back?? 12ohm??

abrieluno

.12 ohms

iTrader: (5)

12 ohm...

decimal brahhh !!!

coffeebowl

anyone have any extra .12 ohm resistors?

is installing a resistor the only way to make an led bulb work as the headlight turn signal... or is there just a plug n play out there somewhere?

killer8rican

there are load resistors but require tapping the oem wiring, i have couple extra resistors also lemme know

coffeebowl

awesome, I will buy one off of you.

mrsimeon

do you still have any .12 ohm resistors left?[/QUOTE]


HEY COFFEEBOWL....you need to delete some messages from your inbox.
Dont do the Load resistors, do this MOD with the relays, it does work and its Very easy, to do.

HI Coffeebowl. , Yes I have more Resistors.

Do you need ONE, or Two. just let me know how many you need,
and GIVE Me your mailing address so I can figure how much it will cost me to put these in an envelope for you.

Thanks for asking.

Sim

mrsimeon

YEs 0.12 Ohms, you need,
NOT 12 ohms.

Weezy2328

how do I solder the resistor?? people r sayin on the back but then the picture in the beginning shows different so idk what to do....my leds come in today

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

you will remove the shunt resistor and install this the same way....

all soldering will be done on 1 side and components on the other

Weezy2328

okay very good and were can I get the resistor from locally? radio shack?

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

I didnt get one a radioshack...I found someone selling it on the forums

Weezy2328

ok do u or anyone no any places??

Weezy2328

and this works with 08 tl type s correct??

donaldoo

Hey guy anybody have a extra resistor
PM please

Weezy2328

this will work??

Follow this tread, go to digi-key and order these ones...

i got the one from amazon.....should be fine?? its .12ohms 1 watt??

Those should work just fine for only 2 LED bulbs (Front 2 or Back 2). If you want to save time you can just solder a 0.24 ohm one and when you're ready to put LEDs in the front & rear you won't have to solder anymore because the resistor is already in place.

thx again roger for writing this up.

so, i got my switchbacks, cheap soldering iron, solder, and resistor.
the turn signal relay was a HUGE pain in the butt to remove, but I now know how hard to pull it.

problem is, i'm scared as hell to solder anything on the back of that tiny board - anyone have any tips for exactly how they went about the procedure of removing the oem shunt resistor and installing the 0.12 ohm resistor? Like a more detailed explanation for someone like me with zero experience soldering would be very helpful (how much solder to use, how to avoid making it messy/lumpy, as the cleaner it is, the less chance of solder running across circuits on the board and screwing up, etc.) Also, would you guys recommend using a very small / fine tip for the soldering iron, or is it really not necessary? I understand the basic process of soldering, I just really didn't expect other important components on the board to be soooo close. Perhaps I'm overthinking this.

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

you're over thinking it. I never soldered anything before until I did this mod. I bought a cheap radio Shack kit and watched 2 YouTube videos on how to solder and did it myself

EvilVirus

iTrader: (8)

^ Yeah it was my first time soldering too. It came out like crap at first but I re-did it.


Weezy2328 you know you can edit your post within 15 mintues instead of posting a new post every 2-3 minutes.........just saying

Weezy2328

hey guys so I did my solderin last night ( had my dad do it since hes more handy then me) it looks like a clean solder.....so I put the relay back in and then I went to take the signal bulbs out of my 08 tl type s and I was pullin it and then just gave out and then did some research to see that u have to push down and twist so I will be doin that today.....my question is that my turn signals still work and my hazards and all...is that normal or are they suppose to not work?? im putting in my leds in today..

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

yes you are supposed to push down and untwist it

yes your turn signals are supposed to work still including hazards. I don't get why that's even a concern. Did you expect doing this mod will make your turn signals and hazards not work?

I would be asking questions if they stopped working

Weezy2328

i just sayin since I put in that resistor and it still has the stock bulbs just making sure...ill be putting in the leds today after work

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

Everything work out fine?

Weezy2328

yea came out perfect....give a nice look thank you guys

Anybody sell the relays with the resistor already soldered in?

I'd pay for one already done so I can remove the switchbacks and relay and put the original back in if/when I sell the TL.

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

No need. Just remove the switchbacks and leave the relay in there. Even if it has the 0.12 or 0.24 ohm resistor soldered in it, it will still function and work with regular non LED bulbs (halogen factory style bulbs)

LP700-4

Help everyone I just did this mod with 2 0.12ohm 1W resistors in series. Turn signals work only when headlights are off?

I have LED's in all 4 corners.
