Front turn signal bulb replacement

Mr. M3 · 03-05-2019, 02:30 PM

Ok I installed the GP thunders LED front corner bulbs around when I first got the car in 2013 and it finally appears the passenger side bulb is failing due to it being dimmer that the driver side bulb now. I originally bought them from EAS but cannot find any bulb replacements on their site now. Another thing is the bulbs constantly flicker when I start the car, but would go away after startup and sometimes I would get error codes for the dimming bulb on the passenger side. I need to know if there are LED replacements or possibly just the philips silvervisions to not cause the error codes and startup flickering?

Flicker would be caused by the voltage monitor, you could get it coded out

This is what I got about a year ago, they look great and haven't had any issues.

These are direct plug and play? Have you had any error codes or flickering?

Yes, and no errors or flickering that I've seen.

I got eBay LED ones about two years ago and I love them. Super bright and no "egg-yolk" effect when unlit.
