Yes, flashers work based on known external resistance/load of the bulbs. That’s why flashers either stop or go crazy if one bulb is out. I believe LED’s have much lower resistance and will appear to the flasher as being “out”. I would think recalibrated flashers would be available for these conversions. Perhaps there is a sharp EE, thoughtful and a great communicator out there that can sort out a total conversion and publish the results. I did place aluminum foil in my C300 tails and that helped—sort of like trimming the wick or turning up the acetylene. Low tech. Rich B.

Steve, maybe you DON”T have brake lights?? What kind of setup do you have for brake light switch?? Still have the hydraulic one on the master cylinder? If so, make sure it is working when the brakes are applied, use a test lamp. If you are/have been using silicone fluid, that switch will likely fail if it hasn’t already. Best to convert to mechanical switch under the dash like 61’s and up used. Good luck in your diagnosis. Dave Schwandt From: chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Nick Taylor Are you sure they're coming on? Easy way to check brightness by yourself is to use the turn signals. These aren't the brightest lights in full sun because of the way they're mounted on the car. Another problem with them is that there is a reflector on the inside around the bulb that can fall off. If it fell of and someone just left it out, the light won't be concentrated in the middle of the lens enough. Once I actually got my brake lights working on my F (loose connection at the switch), they're actually pretty good with standard bulbs.
