Sorry but where can you do that load equalizer?? I brought LED's from ebay but when i plugged it, it wouldn't turn on. And the LED foglight's, it blinks.

all the PIAA's ive seen still need resistors to work. These are supposedly drop in. I want to see if they really work. I have seen 1 set on ebay.

I've heard that SMD lights work on our cars without Error and without any extra Load resistors put in.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SMD-H...Q5fAccessories

Just wondering has anyone tried these? Seems like a better deal than the rest if they work?

I'm actually using my own distribution HID LED Bulbs. They are 1.5W HID LED bulbs but they do require the Load resistors...so..not Plug and Play. If anyone wants these bulbs let me know. These are what they look like. They have CREE high intensity led's, its constructed with metal and it does not heat up at all.

This is what I don't understand. These ones on Ebay say plug & play and that it won't throw an error. But this doesn't make sense, they are only 3w. The stock lights are 5w. So your car is going to read that it's 3 not 5w and throw an error signal. Right?

I'm guessing they are saying they have some kind of built in resistor to cancel out that error message and cause the system to think it is a 5W bulb.

" (By using our led light bulbs, It's just SAME as you replace an original light bulb. Your dashboard warning signal will automatically switch off . )"

i just used bulbs from Autolumination.com. as i said, all the bulbs that were led worked fine for me, except the front dome, but it's not really that much of a nuisance. you just have to get each bulb, and there's a lot, lol. i don't remember the sizes, but i ordered plenty that were too small, but in the end i was able to bend the contacts alittle bit and make them fit.

i have LED city lights, but i got them from the ebay seller sixity. i got them in blue. they work fine for me, no errors, except when i have a cold engine, one of them would turn off, and then turn back on though. no flickering or tuning off.
