LED Turn Signal Bulbs Resistor

What is the wattage of the bulb you are taking out. Give me that and I will do the math. I could go pull my bulb I guess but can't get to it until the afternoon.

Wayne (FChat member cwwhk) made a thread in 2012 on LED conversion for his 550, and toward the end he discussed the calcs and values for the resistor, and where it gets installed. I don't know how similar the 360 and 550 lamps are, but it's a good read.

The thread is here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/456-550-575/362438-550-led-light-conversion.html

 

This won't work because the point of the resister that he wants it to make the turn system think that there is a bulb back there. He isn't trying to limit current so that the LED bulb doesn't blow.

 

Haven't read the thread but it should work. The differences aren't enough to cause a problem. The good news here is that you have a lot of margin in the system.

 

Just replace the flasher relay with an electronic one that auto compensates. They are available at all of the auto parts stores

 

^^^^^^ THIS!

A "no load flasher relay" eliminates butchering your wire harness with bulky unnecessary resistors.

 

Use 5,6 Ohm resistor. Honestly any 3-8 Ohm resistor will work. Remember to use high power resistors aprox 10 W.

Alan:

It's the blue wire. Use the 6ohm 50w resistor. Actually, join two together in series. One wire of the resistor attaches to the black wire, the other free end goes to the blue. You should be good to go.
I got the resistors from Superbrightleds.com
I'll post pictures of my conversion soon. Still have to get all four lights to come on with headlamps otherwise everything else is working great.
I used theses lights.

Love the look.

You could always talk to Stef at Scud Ing Swiss | Home Page | ScudIng.com. He may be willing to sell the flasher he created. It is what I have in my car, and is proven to work with the LEDs in the rear and OEM filament bulbs everywhere else.
