what about load resistors, will this bulb blow a fuse? Ive blown fuses due to LEDs before and I don't want to.

I have had this bulb in my car for a few months now and have not burned a fuse. The bulbs come with a driver (device that converts the incoming voltage to a compatible voltage) and there is no need for any load resistors unless you are using LED signal lights.

I used these, 50W 6Ohm LED Load Resistors for LED Turn Signal Lights or LED License Plate Lights (Fix Hyper Flash, Warning Cancellor) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EDF8HY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 by XKGLOW

Yes, You need to install wirh load resistor if there is flashing faster.Please refer the link below to know what load register is.Jtech 2x 50W 6 Ohm Load Resistors for LED Light Bulbs (Fix Hyper Flash, Error Messsage)RegardsCustomer Service

I am useing the flat lightbulb shaped LED bulbs in mine and have had no issues. They are cooler and brighter and it is noticable. The other bulbs were very hot, expensive and delicate.

The main thing to worry about is what the wiring and harness can handle as far as current/wattage. However, most wiring can handle it as its not a huge increase in wattage, its the same as a normal house bulb after all. :) My original bulbs were rated at about 50W also, and these new bulbs have been working great since I put them in a year ago. Still working, no problems! Also, they look great and give better coverage than the stock bulbs I had in before.

It calculates to 440 ohm 1/4 watt resistor. You may be able to use a 420. Are you really only using 1 resistor with the 12 volt supply? I would put more LEDs in series. Like 3 LEDs with 135 ohms. Or 4 in series with no resistor.

Unless you are replacing led bulbs, yes. You need resistors if you are upgrading from incandescents to LED

the owner of the company was great when i talked to him. however, i never bothered to tell him that it blows a fuse every time i've tried to use it. i'm 58 years old and have used electrical products switches, pots, dimmers that didn't blow.... who knows, for me, it just sits there and eats a fuse every single time.

LEDs can only be hooked up to a circuit one way. Make sure the longer lead (+) is hooked to the hot and shorter (-) is hooked to the ground. And you're probably burning out you LEDs. They're only rated for 3.2v, so if you're using a 12v supply without a resistor, you'll burn them up. You might get a bright flash as soon as you connect the power, but it won't work after that.

Check ur bulb number of ur car.....far as continuous use yes there great led bulbs do not get hot will need resistor for hyper flasing

If using for a turn signal lamp then yes you'll need a resistor. I used them for reverse lights, no need for resistor on that application.

I try them without load resistors, and it messed up my parking/stop lights. Had to take it to the dealer, charged me $86 bucks to fix. I just bought a relay.

Always better to play it safe. Run two seperate legs, you dont want to have all lights out because of a blown fuse. A little more hassal ,but worth it. I know this from expirience.

LED'S draw much less current than a standard incandescent bulb. That's why they hyper flash when you install them without resistors. LED watts are measured in milli-watts. It depends on the LED lamp you buy. If it is a 1W lamp, then divide it with the number of diodes. These LED bulbs are probably no more than 2W or 3W bulbs. Hope this helps!

Assuming you mean you have an AC adapter that outputs 12v DC, you'll probably burn out the led without putting a resistor in the mix. LEDs typically only need a few volts to light

I would assume that the issue is total load on the device (the internal wires are very small) and perhaps a heat concentration issue for incandescent bulbs. I would also think that LEDs would be OK.
