Turn signal bulbs

[JustinXO]

I would like to change my signals to LED, what kind of bulbs do I need? 2017 EX-T

Coupe turn signals are 1156 rear, 7440 front. Note that you will have hyperflash unless you buy bulbs that specifically state they prevent hyperflash.

What's hyperflash?

What's hyperflash?

It's when your turn signal blinks very rapidly. It's because LEDs use less power, which mimic a burned out bulb, so it blinks rapidly. You will either need to install in-line resistors, or get LEDs that have the in-line resistors built-in, a decoder unit in-line or built into the LED itself, as Acey mentioned.

Yeah people shy away from installing resistors because they're scared of splicing or whatever, but it's incredibly easy and the newer ones they make these days with decent heatsinks are virtually zero risk.

Oh man, this requires codes?

No, not "codes", a decoder unit built in-line between the LED and plug, which is just a small box. It forces the light to blink a more normal rate than if there was no decoder or resistor.
