Hey, when i install these 2.5's, the turn signals (reverse lights after conversion) will be amber color, so i am gonna wanna change them to reverse light color, right? Can i even do that?

well, lemme put it this way, will i pass NJ inspection with amber colored reverse lights?

oi vey, so many complications.

Buy yourself a trailer bulb converter and wire(5 wire -> 4 wire) it so your blinkers control the brake lights. Then you can use the original blinkers as backup lights with a proper bulb. Never had a problem with inspection with that setup.

slow down and rethink your questions...

-why would you think you would pass with amber reverse lights?
-how hard is it to change them to white?
-why would you not be able to change them to white?

[liltimmy1313]

hahah i didnt think id pass inspection with amber.

it wouldnt be hard but i was just checkinnn

and yea i dont know why i thought you couldnt change the reverse lights.

its been a longggg day.

hey guys.. would i be able to perform this on my 09 corolla xrs? i want my leds to blink when i turn instead of my actual amber turn signals..

[---CAMRAZY---]

Yes, it will work on your corolla.

I need a dummy downed version of this conversion Can anyone has done this conversion provide me with their notes or help or key points

[---CAMRAZY---]

Alright so both of the converters finally went out... time to buy new ones....

[cklinh]

Just a heads up.

After reading camrazy's last post, and noticing that my left blinker wasn't working, I figured, hey, my converter must have went out too.

So I went to Kragen to pick up a replacement converter... they didn't have the Hopkins 48915, so I got the next closest thing, 48925.

Go on about my business rewiring everything. When I was done, damn thing still wouldn't work.

So I check my fuses, and realized, hey, why are ALL the left side lights not working? Including the front left signal, my signal light on the sideview mirror, the rear blinker, AND the left arrow on the dash.

AHA! Must be the flasher! since there aren't any side specific fuses for the blinker/hazards. I pulled out the LED flasher and replaced it with the OEM that I kept. All the front blinker lights came on, but alas, the rear still did not. I figured the new Hopkins must not be working (either because it's defective, or the wiring is different... but I did check that, and all wires were labeled the same as the old Hopkins)...

I rewired the old Hopkins converter, and we're back in business.

Long story short, if ALL signal lights on one side are not working, it's the flasher.

reggie is an awsome guy, much props to him for helping me out

This thread is no longer good. Does this guy still selling them?

Just made a conversion and here is a photo. I used 5 Ohm resistors because I couldn't find 6 Ohm ones. Blinking speed in fine, but the resistors become very hot after a minute of blinking. Is that OK? I think I should find a relay and remove the resistors, that would be a safe choice.
