I need input or a DIY for installing led headlights (high and lows) with load resistors. Specially, where is the best place to mount the resistor??
LED Headlights HELP!!!!! Okay Guys, I need some Help right away, because like many of you, I was going to take apart my Factory SXT Headlights and Paint the insides of them, but Baking them didn't go well, lol and no matter how many times I tried, I just couldn't get them apart, so my Girlfriend just went ahead and Bought me New BlackThose require a rectifier either externally or internally in conjunction with a load resistance. Generally speaking, unless a particular bulb is part of a signalling circuit, or wired in conjunction with other bulbs, (i.e., "isolated"), you won't need a load resistor (s). But, as JR points out, more and more the vendors are offering LEDs with
1 resistor, per side, in the rear worked for me. I replaced all my signals (4 rear, 2 front) with 3157 SMD LED bulbs. I would order their LED compatible blinker. This will control your blink rate, and then you not wiring in a load resistor.R = 4.5 V 0.8 A = 5.6 Ω. Don't just pick a common 1/4W resistor. You should always, but especially with high currents like this, check what power it will consume. P = V × I = 4.5 V × 0.8 A = 3.6 W. So the answer is a 5.6 Ω /5W resistor. That's much of a waste however. Both LED and resistor see the same current, then their power ratio is the TOYOTA Genuine 2019 & Newer Tacoma Short Wheelbase Tailgate Lock (PK3B6-35JS0) $159.44.
