Has anyone upgraded their lamps to all LED lighting? If so, were there any problems, like having to get a new flasher unit as well?

 

There are lots of threads about led bulbs. To use LEDs you have to install a load resister with the turn signals. Use the search bar at the top of the page and you will find lots of reading on the subject.

 

I installed some of these not too long ago.http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-Red-3157-High-Power-Red-Blinker-Rear-Turn-Signal-Lamp-Bulb-3057-2013-/331108246616?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d1796e458 They don't require a resistor like the older types did. If you install them backwards they won't work right - just flip them over.

 

do we need to use the can-bus bulbs or just regular led's?

 

i think the canbus eliminates the need for resistors to stop the "hyper flash" aka fast blinking
I have switch backs as my turn signals..i dont really mind them flashing faster. Ive had them for almost a year installed and no problems with my flasher or anything.

 

Not sure what you are asking, but I bought the above bulbs in red and installed them in my turn signals and it was that easy. Hope that helps.

 

so these light don't hyper flash and are bight? they have the dim and bright function as well?

 

These serve both the turn and stop lights and are a little brighter than the OEM bulbs. I do love the look. A while back one side hyperflashed and I swapped the bulbs (left to right) and it fixed it. I guess a computer senses the resistance and sets up accordingly. It recently started hyperflashing again on one side but I've not messed with it. I am still a happy customer. It looks cool, is a lot cheaper than the lamp assembly replacement, and between you and me I kinda like the hyperflash! If that's a bad thing, it's way down the baddy list...
