KevinA Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I have a 2005 LGT, i'm trying to put LED bulbs in the front turn signal sockets, i've tried about 5 bulbs now, and they either blow out a fuse, or blow out the bulb. What LED bulbs does everyone run successfully? I want it to be really bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX35B4 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I made same mistake:lol: You have to get 3157 CK Socket LED bulb. I got this from eBay and very happy.

After it blows a fuse and becomes a hassle, we realize how stupid it was to begin with and start throwing money at something else more useful.

FX35B4 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just insert bulb into socket correct way. In case you don't know, you can access socket from wheel house. Turn the wheel all the way to make some room and stick your hand in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectSega Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Anyone happen to know if the 2008-09 Fronts are CK or standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssTeeAai Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Just insert bulb into socket correct way. In case you don't know, you can access socket from wheel house. Turn the wheel all the way to make some room and stick your hand in it. When I insert the bulb one way, turn signal works and the parking lights fuse blows. When I insert the bulb the other way into the socket, the opposite happens; park lights work, but turn signal fuse blows. Can't get both to work. Any suggestions??

That usually means your bulb is stuffed/incorrect type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssTeeAai Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Figured out my issue. For our cars we have to make sure the bulb is "CK" type not regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
