Corner Lights... Bulb...

[LongBeachCoupe]

Anyways, im gonna have the wheel well open anyways and i want to switch my corner lights... (i dont have the guts to switch the wiring to make the running light the signal, plus i want to get eyelids and that would completley block my signal)...

Heres the questions...1. link to the thread talking about switching the signal and the running light? zer...age=12. what is the bulb size for the signal? 34573. If i get LED from online for the signal, what type of resistor do i need so it doesnt blink fast? In Line resistor... where from though?!

[LongBeachCoupe]

Ok so im def changing the corner lights... now to decide LED or bulb...Blue bulb...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWChrome bulb http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWIs a bulb that looks white... im more concerned about the fast blink.. i really dont want that... if i go with this bulb, will it still fast blink?

If you switch your running and turn signal lights, you will get fast blink because the turn signal will now be a much smaller/lower wattage bulb. It won't matter if it's led or incandescent, you'll still get fast blink if you don't install a resistor.

What kind of resistor do i need? Where can i buy it?

[LongBeachCoupe]

OK GUYS.. i think i got the fix...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

Or

Anyone know the Ohm/watt of the corner bulb?

I believe thats the resistor we need to use... and im gonna put something likehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1Vin the corner...

Ok guys.. its a long trek... and i dont have the electronics knowledge to complete this math... or the time.. i have a wedding tonight (who does a thurs wedding??)...Anyways.. check this from the G35 moderators and guys...zerothread/305255PLEASE RESPOND HERE..

DR. FEELGOOD.. use ur electronic and bionic properties to figure this out!

I wound up going with a regular chrome white bulb for the turn signal.

2brian0,

can you tell me exactly how you painted your front grille, im not good at car **** at all so like step by step and what paint and stuff please . i hate the chrome parts and would rather paint it instead of buying a new grille. thanks

Welcome Hecker! Glad to see you looked thru threads before posting!

Why not email him?

[domdada]

Brian, have you firgured out what resistor you need to do this swap?

[LongBeachCoupe]

never did... i just gave up on it...

[domdada]

Damn, Good thing I saw this thread because I was almost about to do this swap myself and I would have been pissed like no other if I seen that i had a fast blinking light.

[LongBeachCoupe]

maybe grystorm has some insight on it as hes got leds tied to the running light.. idk tho

[domdada]

Should I make thread asking GryStrm about this or do you think he will see this thread?

[LongBeachCoupe]

who knows! lol email him for best results.

[BlackNWhite]

Lol @ upping this old *** thread...

But since it did get upped... LBC... where did you get the chrome white bulb? All chrome bulbs I see on ebay flash orange.

[LongBeachCoupe]

there was one i got thats clear.. i warn you.. its not that bright though...this isnt the guy i got mine from... hes not on ebay anymore..http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

what i really want is to get one of these in!
