Led Lighting

[bigge31566]

Has anyone had problems with led bulbs on their exterior lighting as far as maybe melting the lense, just trying to decide which way to go, park, brake, and reverse

Biggest thing I have heard of is hyper-flashing. It's just like it sounds... extremely fast flashing due to the drastically reduced load on the circuit.

And they will NOT melt lenses. LED's run much cooler than incandescent bulbs. In fact, many of the truckers I know will NOT run LED lights on their trailers for safety in the winter time. LED lights will not get warm enough to melt the ice and snow off of themselves. Incandescent bulbs however WILL get warm enough to melt the crap off of themselves. That's today fun fact!

I have replaced all of the dash lights, interior, parking, brake, side markers with leds...no hyper flashing problems. X2...leds WILL NOT melt the lenses and they use far less electricity then incandescent filament bulbs...fun fact #2.......not to mention they will outlast incandescents as well.

No need to worry about melting lenses or anything of that nature.

Do spend the extra bucks to get some quality LEDs though.

Cheaped out a long while back on some wedge bulbs for my truck, and they all flicker like I wanted strobe lights everywhere!

You can also purchase an adjustable led flasher relay from Superbrightleds, but make sure to purchase the correct one for your fuse box pattern!
