Yup! didn't think abt that.. I'll put some..Herm said:hopefully they will be long lived, get some grease suitable for lightbulbs. Some of those improve heat transmission to keep the bulb cooler.

o 2 pcs Amber 7440 t20 27 5050 SMD LED Lights Bulbs for the Rear Turn signals
o 2x AMBER 3157 27 5050 SMD LED for the front turn signals

What is your confidence level that these LEDs will not trigger the "bulb out" blinker response?
The bulb out blinker response is a double speed flasher and it will happen with replacing 1 LED in the system per side.

The reason I asked is that I replaced all 4 turn signal bulbs with LEDs and got the fast blink response. I have yet to find any LED replacements that have a built-in resistor to fool the bulb-out detection.
These does seem to have built-in resistors. I've used these in my '79 MGB and works like a charm. I've replaced, Rear/brake lamps and turn signals on my MGB, blinkers didn't flash and replaced thermal Flasher with an Electronic Flasher.
If I experience any issue with blinkers, I'll replace the flasher with an LED bulb Flasher Unit..
I'm not sure they make H9.mogur said:That would be an excellent choice for the high beams and I have been searching for someone who sells them. No luck so far in finding it in a H9 version... I'm not interested in spending the $120 or more to change them out to HIDs since they will be used so little on such a vehicle. I'm more interested in more and bluer light for the very occasional times they will be used; flashing other motorists, the infrequent dark solitary street, and the like...

The Leaf does not have a traditional analog flasher relay. It is all done electronically in the Body Control Module, complete with a synthesized "clicker" noise. So I look forward to your report on how the LEDs that you bought work out.

I used 31mm LED festoon bulbs for the dome and cargo lights based on the measurements I took. But when I installed them, they were a tight fit. They did fit, however. I got these from Amazon (nader said:Has anyone figured out which length festoon bulbs the map and dome lights use? I see bulbs ranging form 31-42mm long.
Got the LEDs and replaced just Left front and there it goes flashing faster. Since the LEDs are at 0.3a and consume around 3W, LEAF thinks that the Bulbs are burnt out and flashes fast indicating lamps needs to be replaced.OrientExpress said:These does seem to have built-in resistors.

I'm wondering if any one has service manual for LEAF could check which type of Flasher is used in LEAF. I wanted to see if I can buy one of these instead of a Load resistor..
