Hey everyone, I'm thinking about changing over to LED reverse lights for a bit more oomph in the dark (without adding extra lights and so on). Then I thought why stop there?!? Why not do them all!
From what I have read the indicators is not simply replacing the globes with LEDs, but adding load resistors, which is all good so far. I've also read that for each indicator globe I replace, I need to add a load resistor.
My query is, does it matter where in the circuit I place the load resistor? For example on my D40, would it matter if I replaced all 3 globes on one side (front, side and rear - left or right) and placed all 3 load resistors in the engine bay where its easy access/mounting? Or do I need to place each load resistor near the globe itself? Now that I am typing, I wonder if you can get larger load resistors so the whole circuit only needs one larger one...?
Any thoughts on this would be awesome - thanks!
