Anyone have Digi-Tails LED lights?

[Injectedcutty]

Sweet! I have these ordered. Should be here Wednesday. I also ordered a bunch of LED lights from the SUPERBRIGHTLEDS.COM website. Planning on switching all my lights in the car to LED lights. Anyone done this? Anyone have any problems? Anyone have any suggestions? For the TAIL LIGHTS conversion will I need anything other than what is in the kit from MIKES MONTES website?

Be very careful switching out some of the LED's. I bought some bulbs from them for my reverse, license, and rear marker lights for my Cutlass.
The reverse bulbs wouldn't fit into the socket...had to grind down the flange, then the bulb crumbled into pieces ($10 down the drain).
The license plate bulbs were too tall and were hitting the inside of the lens, and would not lock in...so another $10 down the drain for bulbs I can't use! I need to find bulbs that are a lower profile.

I went through this on my last few cars. As stated, many LED bulbs are physically larger than the incandescent equivalents. Also, for any flashing bulbs, you may need a resistor or ballast to prevent hyperflash. Some bulbs have built-in resistors, but not all do.

Some people recommend resistors for non-flashing bulbs because they draw so much less power, and the standard current can “burn them out” but there doesn’t seem to be clear consensus on that.

On my Monte I found that for the marker lights it is best to replace the 194 bulbs with either amber or red led's respectively, the white led's end up being too bright and don't disperse the light throughout the lens.

that's awesome,i can't speak of that site but you should know you're gonna need an electronic flasher to use those tail lights. If you are installing both led tail lights and led front lights,two electronic flashers are needed to make it work.standard flashers don't see the load that an led provides.in my experience.

Electronic flashers - can I pick these up at Autozone?

RESISTORS - I am a novice when it comes to electrical... Can someone point me in the direction of some instruction on installing resistors?

i haven't seen the electronic flashers in stock @my store but you can buy them on line.i bought my lights from dixie resto and they had the electronic LED flashers too.they can be bought from other places though.I'm not sure where you pick up your new lights but maybe they have them in stock,it's worth a look.
using two electronic flashers should prevent the "hyper flashing" and the use of resistors shouldn't be needed.

I’ve bought most of mine on Amazon or SuperBrightLEDs.com.

Using 2 flashers? How? One plugs right into the fuse box, right? Where does the 2nd go?

I just ordered 2 flashers from Amazon.
