Diode Dynamics® DD5002 - LED Sidemarkers

To install, connect one side of the resistor to the positive turn signal wire, and the other side to negative (ground) with included connectors. To determine which wires to tap on a dual filament socket, they recommend using a voltmeter to test the two power wires. Simply engage your turn signal on the side you're installing the resistor, touch your voltmeter probe to each pin inside of the socket, and the pin that gives a voltage readout is the power wire that needs to be tapped. Typically the ground wire is a black wire. Experience. After over a decade in business, Diode Dynamics is the most trusted name in automotive LED lighting. Unlike every other LED distributor, they manufacture and engineer products Diode Dynamics in the United States, for high quality and fast time-to-market of the newest and brightest LED technologies. They pride Diode Dynamics in offering only quality LED products, that will exceed your expectations.

When it comes to LED upgrades, you'd think the lower power draw would be a great feature! Unfortunately, factory systems look for power draw from turn signals, and LEDs will make the vehicle think a bulb has gone out, due to lower power draw. This causes a "hyperblink," or fast-blinking turn signal, which can be corrected with LED Resistors or an LED Flasher. The most basic, tried-and-true method is to add resistors, which are basically a bulb that doesn't light up! A 6-ohm resistor uses about the same power as a standard turn signal bulb. However, resistors require extra wiring, and one is needed for each bulb. The device controlling the turn signal speed is called a flasher relay. If your vehicle has a replaceable one, you can replace it with a new flasher designed for LED power levels. This is the most efficient and convenient way to upgrade to LED turn signals, but unfortunately, many vehicles no longer use replaceable flasher modules. Standard flasher sizes include LM486, LM487, LM470, EP26, EP27, CF13, CF14, CF15, LM526, and CF18, which they also make in an intelligent version called the "SmartTap" flasher! If a flasher is available for your vehicle, you can find it using Diode Dynamics Vehicle Lookup tool. Either way, just shoot Diode Dynamics a message if you have any questions about your setup, and they'll be happy to help!

Sidemarkers are small lamps that add illumination and reflectivity to the side of a vehicle. At Diode Dynamics, they design and manufacture LED sidemarkers with upgraded styling and performance. Unlike other options on the market, Diode Dynamics sidemarkers are produced with optically-correct reflector patterns, known as retroreflectors. While much more expensive, this provides reflectivity and a premium, OEM-style appearance. And instead of a single bulb or dot of light, Diode Dynamics sidemarkers have a strip of LEDs, packed with high density to create a uniform glow, with a much more modern look. All LED sidemarkers are manufactured in St. Louis, Missouri, and are tested to DOT/SAE standards - including photometric, environmental, and electrical stress. They currently produce Camaro sidemarkers, Jeep sidemarkers, and Mustang sidemarkers, but stay tuned for more models!

When it comes to customization of your vehicle’s lighting, drivers often pay most attention to headlights while side markers are often neglected. Yet, performance side markers can replace your restrictive or outdated factory side markers and add that perfect finishing touch giving your vehicle a distinctive look that will make heads turning your way. These outstanding side markers by Diode Dynamics just fit the purpose. With the smart design and unique style, they are going to embellish the exterior of your vehicle. Delivering superior performance and producing blazing illumination, they will drastically improve the visibility of your vehicle to other road users.
