I have a broken blinker housing in my '99 T4r. rather than replace it (or the set), I want to remove both blinkers and mount them in the 2" round aux light spot using these LEDs:

To fix the blinker failure detection, i have found these "Load Equalizers": go to the middle of the page. I think i need the 15-25 ohm equalizer for each led module.

Lastly, I want to make some bracket/housing that fits into the stock blinker location and holds a rectangle driving light. something similar in style to these:

These are some pics of what i want to do and how it might look:

What the LED blinker housing might look like:


What the Driving light might look like:


Different version of the driving light:




Fabrication for the driving light might be more difficult since they are either going to stick out a lot, or be too small. Fortunately, there should be little fab for the blinkers, since the stock hole opening is almost exactly 2" and the purchased LED module is 2". I do have access to a machine shop and welding equipment to fab the driving lights though.

has anybody done either of these? are there any writeups? Do any of you have any reccommodations before i get started? I know some people have used LEDs as blinkers, but they also modified the flasher module or purchased a new one to control the speed. I am wondering if these Load Equalizers work well.



Thanks,

why not replace them to stay legal

As long as they are amber and as long as they are visible and as long as they blink, they're legal.
