Something Slow

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

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

license plate light intermediate w/ S-class LEDs
I installed the LED S-class tail lights, had to rewire them to function as a 05+ light should, and now my left license plate light comes on for 5 sec, turns off for 5 sec and so on . Anyone run into this when they installed the S-class lights? ideas? I checked my wiring and tried a new bulb, other than that any suggestions before I go back to stock and sell the S-class LEDs?
Additionally, anyone know the part# of the license plate screws? I stripped the hell out of them.

That's exactly how I did mine.
On the drivers light, I used all wires and left no open pins, rear fog doesn't work, no big deal on that. On the passenger side, I left one wire not connect, as pin 6(?) is not used.

i did not mess with the pin, i just cut the powe wire to the rear fogs, taped the wire for the regular lights and used that to power that bulb. it look good but the rear fog light bulb is way way bright. i might take it off.

That's what I did, but I ran that wire for the regular lights to the fog also...that may be the culprit , looks like I have a Saturday project...again

I want to but right now I changed it to Xenon its one of those polarg and its way better than stock . Im thinking to change to LED soon just have to do a little research because the bulb will be flickering due to the amps and voltage. I already bought some resistors and kinda waiting on the LED right now plus its frigging rain for the like whole week cant do anything righ now. Please some pics of your LED and do you have any pics that showing the whole car in the back I just wana see how bright the led in the nite . I mean in the distance.

about a year ago i started looking for license plate l.e.d.'s everywhere.. the only place i found them was on ebay.. i didnt want to play with wires so i turned to l.e.d.'s with built in resistors, after two faulty l.e.d.'s with built in resistors didnt work, i gave up.. months later a found a new seller with the same deal, so i bought them.. they worked perfect, no fault on the menu screen and no cutting and crimping.. these where the real deal with built in resistors.. till this date i still have them and havnt had any problems.. if i find the the seller again ill post his page.. i just think its pretty cool that this guy actually did it while the others keep failing..
