Does anyone have some current info on good LED replacements for f/lift model Galant? All info seems ols with dead links, and these lights have moved on somewhat. Mine seem to be the w2w0 wedge type halogen bulb (t20 7440 and 7443. Would appreciate a good recommendation.

if you want to replace the tail lights and indicator lights with led bulbs, you will need to add resistor for it as otherwise you'll have issues with your ABS and your AYC (if yours have it)

found this out the hard way

*edit* wrong location for your post too.. will move it to appropriate area

Bloody hell, really?! Are they on the same power circuit somehow?

This is intresting. Even if they're automotive LED's that should already have the correct resistance?

Almost all makers of led globes dont correct the resistance in the "bulb" as it will create alot of heat and put it at risk of failing

You can run led indicators without any issues, but parkers/brake wont work, even with built resistors, checked on mine both ways and abs lights is going off everytime and showed me 9 errors lol

I run LED parkers without issue

other than needing to sort the polarity on one side so they function
