Had a stock DRL/turn signal go out the other day, when I pulled socket out,
bulb was melted into socket. Didn't want to go back with such a hot bulb, so
I thought I'd get LEDs. I purchased the bulbs below to replace stock bulbs,
Socket was melted too bad to allow removal of old bulb, so I spliced in a new
socket, but once I installed bulb, I could not get socket back into housing.
Removed housing to see what was going on, top was melted / cracked, and
drooping too much to ever allow switchback to fit. But I have serious doubts
that it will fit even in the new housings I ordered, These LEDs are long.
Are different lengths available? I thought a 3157 had a standard it followed.
Also, for the brief time that I turned it on to check function, it seemed to
be getting very warm...
I understand, I got these because the resistor is built in. It works correctly, at least outside of the housing.
New housings will be here in a few days... I'll know for sure then. All the ones I saw with resistor built
in looked very long. Housings are cheap, I wouldn't be averse to clearancing the housing, and epoxying
a dome cover over it. But that's a last resort
Different size switchback LEDs available?
