They strobe due to the lack of wattage. Raise the wattage and the things slow down. I looked at the resistor thing and load balancer, but I do not want to have to bugger each bulb to make it draw what the old electronics wants to see. I know it will only draw when in use, but still... There are all sorts of formulae that spells out how much resistance I would need. Means I have to booger the used to be side marker, as well as the one in the box below the bumper, and the set in the tail light.
One would think the chinese would have known this was an issue and just put a dang resister in their little lights clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1972 220D - Gump - She is green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Cleo - Used by the Queen of Denial POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Jul 5, 2012, at 10:43 PM, Rick Knoble wrote: > Might need to put a resistor in line with the turn lamp.
