LED tail light install help.

04SlowStang · 05-30-2009, 09:27 PM

I was wondering if anyone knew how to wire in the resistors for an LED tail light setup? I just picked up a 97 Cobra and the previous owner installed LED's but didnt wire in the resistors. Does anyone know which wires the resistors get spliced to? Any help is greatly appreciated.

i like the hood, side skirts and rear bumper, not so much, no idea on the resistors. Sweet ride.

Resistors are usually installed in line. Cut hot wire, solder in resistor. This is a general term.

Yeah, I agree with you but the guy i got it from got rid of the original bumpers and spoiler. It was a deal I couldn't pass up and I figure I'll end up gettin it back to stock trim in a while.
Thanks for the tip "Smokin04".

Pretty funny stuff here, but let me put you guys straight. The car is from NY and well, you know every New Yorkers car has to match his sweats and wife beater. I only got it this way, didn't do a thing to it yet.

be careful where you put the resistor, i know when you add led tail lights sport bikes you have to make sure u mount it where the heat it generates will not burn anything around it. r u adding resistors to slow down your blinker speed?

Yes, it has a real fast blink (as if a bulb is burnt out). I don't really care for the LED's but until I can get another set of original tl's, I'm stuck with em. The resistors that came with it look like "in line fuses". i'm not sure they would create any kind of harmful heat but i'll keep that in mind when connecting them.
