Should I add LED tail lights to my car?
Q. What do you think of adding LED tail lights to a vehicle that doesn’t have them? I like the look of the crisper light that LEDs provide.
A. LED bulbs come on quicker and may actually add a slight margin of safety when on the road. One issue is some LED bulbs will flash quicker than standard bulbs or turn on a dash warning that indicates a light is out. To remedy this issue, you may need to add a resistor to the circuit to compensate for the load that LED bulbs draw.
