I just ordered a bunch of blue led's off ebay and want to install them whenever i get some free time.... However, i can not find the volt specifications for some of the lights i will be replacing... are all the light bulbs 12 volt?
in the:
door handles?
steering wheel controls?
light under the shifter plate?
please lemme know
thanks

 

yes, they are all 12 volt. most take a 194 bulb replacement, and thats 12 volts and 22.5 watts

 

yes, they are all 12 volt

 

They're all 12V... the easiest way to install the LEDs in your car safely is just by hooking a 1K ohm resistor up to either lead of the LED then just hooking the + and - up and you're good to go. The resistor limits the current (amperage) that goes to the LED and keeps it from "poping"...

I actually poped a few last night on accident while building my new tail lights.... damn short in the circuitboard... I wasn't happy I blew 6 $1.50 LEDs.... But I got all of them built... now this weekend's project is to do the final assembly and get my car back together...

 

I just put in 2 today.... they look great.. i swapped out those red lights on the door handles and put in an led.. i used 1 led and a 470 ohm resistor... had em in for a few hours and everything looks to be good
... 470 ohm is the correct resistor right? i used ohm's law to figure it out

 

So this means if you put the LED bulbs in your blinkers, they are gonna pop?

I bought some for my brakelights (red 3157), and after I put one in, my fuse blew. Any correlation, or just a coincidence? They are made by APC, and said they are a replacement for 3157 bulbs.

 

No, by pop they mean that the actual led bulb will bust not your fuse.

If you had a fuse pop after putting them in that means they are drawing too much of a load for the fuse you have. Just go and buy some lower watt bulbs to fix this, but I would first try a new fuse and see if it does it again if so then go buy soem lower watt bubls.
