LED turn signal damage.

NZ.Z

Hi Ghostvette,

Thanks for your input.
I thought the same thing at first, but then when he specifically mentioned that the wires leading to the turn signal bulb on the 370z are thinner than usual vehicles, is when it got me thinking that an auto electrician might know what he's talking about.

That's a clear indication that he's clueless. There's no difference in wire size on a Z as compared to any other vehicle.


Any way, make sure you have a good connection on the load resistor and it's installed with some kind of a heat sink on it. They do tend to get warm enough to melt insulation if they are laying on the wiring harness. I put mine on a piece of 1/8" aluminum with heat sink compound between the resistor and the block, then covered the whole thing with heat shrink. No problems so far. Oh, and you only need one on each side.
