Lamp/bulb sizes inventory

To the point where even if the correct bulb is installed incorrectly or incompletely,the beam will be all wrong,kind of like a high beam light pattern.

True, done that on my Galant, mounted it upside down and it's disastrous

Quick question about LED bulbs.

I'm about to order some T10 bulbs. Am I better going with bulbs with many SMD devices, some have 45/bulb, or getting bulbs with two SMDs?

those numbers are original wattage which are installed from the factory. If you change them to led, the wattage will likely be much less.

so if i plan to change everything the wattage will be lower? Thankypu sooo much

Hey, sorry missed this post .... here's a pic, i changed it with led

Has anyone tried LED turn signals? I've been eying some projector LEDs, but if there is a rapid flash issue, I wouldn't know how to correct it on my own. I've seen the flashers and load resistors on superbrightleds.com but I don't have the slightest idea about how one goes about using one, should it be necessary.

From what I have heard, don't take me as being correct at all, it's just what I have known, since the LEDs draw less current/amps, the indicator circuit thinks there is a globe on it's way out or blown, and that creates a faster flash, since it still sends the same amount to the indicator circuit.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm just having a hard time trying to figure out where the flasher is on the Mirage, if it has one, or if the function is built in.

I'm betting the little Mirage has a old style mechanical flasher. To find it, turn on your turn signal, and stick your head under the dash to follow the clicking.

If it weren't dark and raining I'd go find mine and post a picture. If you have a normal flasher, a round metal thing with two prongs on it, you can simply replace it with a "electronic" signal flasher, which flashes a constant rate no matter the current draw. The electronic flashers are about $15.

Beware though... the car may freak out if you change to LED signals. Another member chronicled his LED brake light swap and it didn't go well.
