So I decided after I installed the LED turn signals for the rear of my xB that I could not hang the fast blinking...its my OCD, lol So I have no need for them. I will gladly give them to anyone who wants them. I wont have much time to ship them out, so maybe picking them up at a meet would be good :up:

Meaning of the "fast blinking": The great thing about LED's is that their life expenctency is a lot longer, they produce more light, and they use less power to operate. The less power to operate is the issue with "blinking" types of lights. Since not as much current is needed to run the turn signals, they blink MUCH faster than the stock incondescent. I dont like it because it drives me nuts, but I think there are resisters out there that fix the problem...Im not an expert on it so dont ask me how, lol ...

So anyway, they are up for grabs if anyone wants them.

I also have my front/rear green stock replacements, and LED tailight bulbs too...

Keep the bulbs and buy one of the LED flasher motors for Toyotas. Its plug and play. It blinks the same speed regardless of how much current draw it sees. Got mine here:

You can probably get them cheaper on ebay.

Its that easy. It doesn't matter how many bulbs you switch to LED or whatever. It always flashes at the same rate. How did you ever end up on your clock LEDs?

I kind of gave up a little on the clock for now =( Im just really discouraged with it...Im thinking of getting a bunch of new PLCC2's to change out the other "dummy lights" all to green. At least those are already PLCC2's to begin with!

I dont have a voltage meter to check but I dont even know the amount that is normal...I think Ill just get a bunch of new ones and when I have a day to screw around, try it again. The bad thing is the pads that the solder sits on are getting damaged with every try...and one of the four is already been damaged too far =(

Circuit boards can be repaired, in most cases, so you may have someone in your chapter who is savy with board work, take a look at it and see if they can solder in a jumper or something.
