has anyone replaced their parking light with led bulbs?
has anyone tried replacing their parking light (194 bulb) with led ones?
i have tried before but failed because of the can-bus system. i just found out they make these load resistor kits for led applications in cars like ours and it works. i tested it out this weekend from parts from auto-zone but the resistor kits they had were only for blinking lights. i used it anyway just to test it and it worked fine but the resistor got really hot so i removed it.
anyway i just wanted to know if anyone else has done this successfully?
