How to replace front signals without dropping bumper?

[mpheng]

Does anyone know how I could get into replacing my front signal lights to switchback LED's without dropping my bumper? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You're gonna need to run resistors most likely. Otherwise you're going to get hyperflashing or possibly they won't work at all.

Get them here:

Or here: Also install instructions on this page.

Awesome! Nicely done man! Those look great.

What wires did you tap for the resistors? Any pics from the install?

make sure your mount the resistors on a metal surface, those things get super hot and will melt soft plastic

Not saying you're wrong but... I have mine secured with zip ties and they've lasted months already.

No pics, was too committed into the install haha. It was the black wire and the brownish wire that I tapped into, I always thought it was the red one and black but it wasn't.

I was confused by the brown and black too, and it's like that in the taillights too

Did you replace the bulbs for the brake lights or signals?
