I installed LED bulbs for the brake / turn signal lights on my BT7 today. Oddly, the left side worked fine without adding a resistor, while I had to add the resistor to the right side to get it to blink. To avoid messing with the wiring at the lights I wired the resistor in at the flasher unit. Very happy with the brighter and more instantaneous brake lights.

Hi Jack,
Where did you acquire the brake bulbs? Is your car positive ground?
TIA,
Bob

Moss has them.
I purchased the bulbs at Walmart, $20 for a two-pack. They're Sylvania ZEVO, lifetime guaranteed for as long as you own your car, supposedly. They look different from the tower-type bulbs most vendors are selling. I have changed my car over to negative ground, primarily to install a cell phone charger, which by the way I also found at Walmart. $10 for a very elegant-looking dual-USB charger that I mounted on the underside of the parcel shelf.
