The Sylvania Zevo bulbs have built in diodes that prevent this problem. I ran into this issue with the regular Sylvania LED bulbs and they stated I needed the Zevo bulbs they made. I did a DVOM check and they show a diode built in and work perfect.

Add a diode to the feeds. That will prevent the back flow out of the low side. Husky 39871 diode. That is the 2 in and one out option. Roadmaster 690 is a single option.. both are heavy duty. I use the husky for my turn/reverse ...my reverse light flashes with the corresponding side but in reverse the light only illuminates(not the yellow turn just the white)

yea that would work i would need 4 of them and smaller ones. the one you suggested is too large. would need to fit inside the tail light.
@somethingsomething7899
@somethingsomething7899 5 лет назад
You dont want the diode inside the housing. You'd want to splice the diode into the wires before it goes into the bulb socket. The only "holes" in a housing is where the bulbs secure into it. So how would you get your wires and diode inside?

@somethingsomething7899
@somethingsomething7899 5 лет назад
They accomplish the dimming by putting a resitor in the "tail light" side. So if you bypassed the resistor it would feed full power back out the other side.. so when you supply power to th brake/turn it feeds back out thru the resistor and back into your tail light circuit. Are you referring to a setup in your bug from your video clips? Im also guessing the turn signal indicator is just a single light? You could also be feeding back thru that single bulb if it is a one indicator light system. That would be why your getting voltage into the opposite side... feel free to correct me if im wrong

When I pressed down on the LED bulbs, they would light up and that's how I figured it out.

Hello Mike Thanks for the video. I just installed All LED's in my 2004 Rexhall AERBUS Motorhome. I hooked Up the back first. There was no problem. Then when I hooked up the side front running lights. The same kind you have in the video. The flashes and turn signals did not work. I changed to the LED flasher as you recommended and still nothing. My side markers went off also. When I turned the RV on both the lest and right was lite.What do you think?

They do for a fact work, at least in my 1993 Pathfinder. But, what is your definition of "an older car"? I've used both of the types you have, and all of the bulbs on my 1985 Honda Shadow have the 2nd style of light you tested and they work fine too. Maybe it's your car, so get rid of it and buy the car that works with your $0.59 LED bulb. or buy some $25 Sylvanias that are designed properly. The LED flasher I found has a dial on the top to change the speed of the flash, it was $2.79.

@classiccarleds
@classiccarleds 5 лет назад
This is an issue with cheaper LEDs. They have continuity between the 2 contacts so the current feeds back through the brake light contact to the tail light contact. We're aware of this issue and build our LEDs with no continuity between the contacts so they are an effective and straight replacement. For turn signals you should use an electronic flasher unit and avoid the use of ballast resistors. Ballast adds back in all the load you saved by going to LED and can get extremely hot which is dangerous, especially on a classic.

I don't agree with this ...1) you're using a battery charger to rest them. For proper test they need to be in the vehicle in the light socket. 2) you're supposed to use the load resisters that you can buy at the parts store right next to those lights and install it it stops the backflow and it regulates the voltage 3) I have LEDs in every light socket on my 01 FLHT Harley-Davidson never have had hyper Flash no resistors where added absolutely no modifications send the clearance lights in the fender on the front to the clearance light on the fender in the rear 100% LEDs headlights Highway lights turn signals brake lights everything is LEDs so I would check wiring issues if you have a problem with your LEDs ...they are a great upgrade

it is not about resistance it is about feedback. on a car your turn signals will feed back to the other side of the car. Need to have diodes on a car.

1990 GMC. It's not a matter of hyper flash, it's that you can't see the difference in brightness between the turn/brake with the lights on at night, works fine with the lights off during the daytime. I got a fix it ticket and could not fix it without putting conventional bulbs in all four turn signal sockets so you can see the blinkers at night and the brake light brightness difference from the park lights! Yeah I have the flasher that corrects hyper flashing but that is not the problem. CAN WE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND NOT THE HYPER FLASH

Hey Mike.. I'm looking to go LED 100% on my 62 panel (with the exception of the generator light). I saw that if you install a resistor, you can get the LED's to work and flash at the correct blink rate. Have you tried these resistors to see if they work, or have you heard about this?? It's gonna cost a couple of hundred by the time I replace all the bulbs.. but I think all the bulb's will work fine with the exception of the 1157's.. dual purpose/ filament (blinker and brake light).. any input would be appreciated..
@mrchad97z49

I tend to agree with the video. I have a 2005 Acura TL and I put auxito LEDs on the rear blinkers and all is well. The rears are blinkers only. But the front is 1157 combo parking and blinker light. A plain swap obviously did not work. The parking light was dim and it hyperflashed. So, instead of using a resistor to emulate the oem bulb, I skipped the resistor and tied the 1157 led in parallel with the oem bulb. The total current should be slightly less than the oem bulb, as the led 1157 has 8kohm and 6kohm resistance compared to the analog bulb at 1ohm and 2.5ohm.. so basically the led would piggyback off the analog bulb and from the controller stand point, the circuit should look almost the same. Well, the parking side did work this time perfectly and was bright. But when I hit the turn signal, the led bulb would flash on and off but completely opposite timing as the analog bulb and opposite to the other bulbs. The 1157 led would turn off when the 1157 analog would turn on. Or at least, that is how it appeared. I am not for sure what was going on inside that led 1157 but it doesn't work like the 1157 analog.

I know this is an older video and I didn't read through all the comments to see if this was mentioned. Another issue with these bulbs you have is that they are the wrong style. At least for the old 60s cars. I bought these by mistake and it took me a bit to figure out the problem. On these they don't line up with the contacts in the socket correctly. The little nub things that lock the bulb in place and hold it are clocked differently so only one side contacts the connector points in the socket. I forget which now but thinking I only had brake lights and no tail lights but might have that backwards. You need the ones with the little round contacts not the bayonet or whatever you call that shape on the ones in your video. I just put the correct contacted bases in my '64 and I have tail and brake lights both like it should be and using the stock flasher at the moment. But the only LED lights I have is in the tail lights as I wanted brighter lights back there as my brake lights aren't that bright. Previously I used 2357 bulbs i believe they were. They are brighter but also heat up more so wouldn't be good in say a '60s impala with the small tail lights. Hope that at least helps someone out a little.

I think you may have bought bulbs with the wrong location pin orientation with regard to your 1st problem. It's easy to get wrong as there are several location pin positions available and only very careful analysis of LED bulbs website information will match with your car's pin orientation specification. Some variants are offset, others 180° opposed.

Your turn signal switch should isolate the light that's blinking from the other side brake/flash, but if there's voltage on the other terminal of the led you are going to back feed the tail light circuit. But that would happen even with applying the brakes. And do you get voltage on the bright terminal if you apply power to the dim terminal? Sounds like an issue of useing cheap led's and a correctly made led should work correctly. And yes load resistors are a really mickey mouse ( sorry disney) fix. Better off keeping the added current and heat in the bulb where it was designed to be.

G30 chevy van and LED 1156 AND 1157 work just fine. I was told flasher would need changed . Wrong. Went back to original flasher and works just fine.

Surely you are discussing is the brake / tail light combo where the tail light is the lower brightness and the brake is the higher. Also, the turn indicator should show behind the orange lens surely not behind the red brake lens. This is the configuration on my Japanese Toyota. The turn indicator should be a separate bulb with only one central pin and is always bright.

you can simply put a diod on each line ((low light and full light ++ wires))

You can use 1157 led's as running lights and turn signals and hazard lights and brake lights. What I did was I used a 5 pin relay and 2 "led flashers". The pins on a 5 pin relay are: pins 86 - 85 - 87a 87 and 30 30 will always have power - 87a is N.C "normally closed" so it gets power from pin 30. This pin 87a will be used to power the low beam of the led. Now when you apply power to pin 86 "by turning on the turn signal switch or hazard switch" you are creating an electromagnetic field in the relay which pulls the pole away from pin 87a "brakes connection to low beam of led "low beam goes out" and the pole is now connected to pin 87. I don't use pin 87 at all even though I could use it for another device if I wanted to. What I do is have 2 led flashers set up so that when you turn on the turn signal switch SPDT or the hazard light switch DPST what happens is that 87a is no longer connected and power is fed to one led flasher for the left turn signal which flashes on and off to the high beam of the led. If you turn on the hazard switch DPST power is fed to both led flashers which gives power to both led high beams. It sounds complicated, I would upload a schematic I made but can't do uploads on youtube. SUMMARY: The 5 pin relay has a pin 87a which is "normally closed" in other words the device you hook up to 87a would be normally on, that would be the" low beam" of your dual terminal led. Now when you turn on your turn signal, or your hazard lights, or your brake lights, then power is sent through pin 86 on the relay which will turn off power to 87a. So now your low beam is off, and you get full amps to the high beam of the led which are connected to led flashers and they blink on and off through the led flasher. When you stop the turn signal of hazard power goes back to pin 87a and the low beams are back on. Nice

There is nothing wrong with the incandescent bulbs. I use them in my older vehicles and house and everything is fine.

It would be interesting to know what are the Asians thinking when they make these bulbs at backfeed what application were they created for. They don't work on Old American Fords and Chevys. And they certainly don't work on European cars they all have devoted sockets. I found all the bulb sockets are dry rotted, and when I redid the inner of the housings and removed the reflectors from the buckets, the front I'll use the 1157 with new sockets and the Switchback bulbs, and electronic flasher and on the rear it has four bulb sockets 1157 those are going to be changed 21156 the lower buckets with the smaller reflectors will be the running lights the upper with the larger reflector buckets will be the brake lights why it will reduce my brake lights from four to two because the rear reflector panel will have a LED strips behind the reflector so that panel across the trunk will also be running lights and brake lights one rectangular LED strip will be for the running lights and the other will be for the brake lights when I finish the project I'll post a video it should look quite unique. All LED low power draw and no heat. The cost for the whole setup will be almost $100 by the time you get all the sockets all the bulbs all the LED strips all the corner connectors and run a devoted wire all the way from the trunk lid to the brake pedal switch so when you hit the turn indicators your strips in the panel don't flash with the blinkers. So cruising down the road my 50-year-old car will compete with all these new modern lightweight electronic crumple Zone caskets. I call them. I'm glad you let us know about the feedback on these bulbs because I have a whole box of bulbs and it's always but try this one try that one when I'm outfitting a vintage car with better lighting. The interior straight forward and pretty easy but diesel 1157s on the old cars can be tricky. On a French car I actually used LED plates behind the lenses and did away with sockets and bulbs had to solder each plate those works very successfully very bright.
