I finally got some load resistors in from DIY CarModz, so I got around to installing my LED turn signals from TypeRLeds. Without the load resistors, the LEDs will hyper flash if you're using two sets for front and rear.
I opted for these load resistors because they are plug and play, so you don't have to cut into any wires. Also, the cheaply made ones will get really hot, upwards of 300 degrees. After running the lights with these resistors, the boxes only got up to 150 degrees. I may make a couple of heat shields for them in the future, but I don't think anything will melt as the air gap will be a decent insulator and as long as the box doesn't touch anything.
These are the two mounting points I used for the resistor boxes.
As for the LEDs, the quality is superb from what I can see. The casing is aluminum to reduce heat and they fit into the housing just fine. Most importantly, they are super freaking bright.
Both Nhan from TypeRLeds and Jeff from DIY CarModz have being greatly helpful and I highly recommend their products.
