('11+) LED Tail Lights (Brake, Turn, Reverse)

danstheman7 · 03-19-2013, 05:29 PM

Searched and didn't find anything...

Looking to put LEDs for my Brake Lights, Reverse, and Turn Signals.

Heard that there are some issues with using LEDs, though I can't seem to find what would cause issues. Am I able to safely use the sylvania bulb guide for looking at LEDs?

I found (with the guide):

Brakes: 7443
Reverse: 921
Turn Signal: 992/7440a

Thanks in advance!
(note, this is for a 2012 Impreza)

edit: also, if there's anyone in the long island NY area... i'm looking for someone who can install the eyebrow LEDs for me, as I can't seem to reach them (I have fat hands).

For the turn signal, you will get hyperflash without a resistor or a new electronic flasher (I forgot the name, but it goes in under the steering wheel).

Everything else will be fine.

Thought I'd need a resistor for that, but do the brake LEDs need resistors as well? Heard they have a chance of hyper flashing as well.

Thanks for the response!
