Ok so I go through H3 bulbs about every 3 or 4 months. I found H3 LED bulbs on ebay for about 20 bux. Has anyone used them before? How is the out put next to the standard bulb? Brighter,survive a beating ect...

 

[cybereclipse]

H3? are you modifying them? I think we're only supposed to have H11

or wait, is it H3 on the first gens?

 

[RaptorGT]

Yes H3 bulbs are for the first gen frontier.

I have H11 LED bulbs and they are not as bright as incandescent bubs, but they match my HIDs so I like them

with just the driving lights on about how far out can you see? feet?

 

[RaptorGT]

My headlights or fog lights?


My Headlights I can see far but I bought a good quality HID kit I can see a lot farther than stock. I also bought the 6000k kit so the light looks true white.


My fog lights give off no light what so ever. They just match the white of the head lights. But what do expect from leds...

fog lights, that sucks. thanx for the tips. Won't be gettin LEDs then

I recently bought some LED H3 bulbs for my Westin Bull Bar. They both work on the left light of the bull bar but they dont work on the right side. Its not the current because the bulbs that originally came with the bull bar work on the right side. Any ideas??? Thanks

Did you try removing the bulb from the housing, then reinstalling 180 degrees? I recently bought some backup LED bulbs and upon installing them, they didnt work right away. I was kinda ticked off, then I reinserted the bulbs after turning them and then they worked. Not sure if it will help.

LED bulbs are actually diodes. thus, unlike regular bulbs, electrical current will ONLY flow in one direction thru a diode. Thats why if an LED bulb first does not work it sometimes works by turning it 180* or essentially swapping the polarity of the power source.
Then in todays cars the computer senses there is not as much power being pulled by the LED bulbs on the circuit, so there may be a blown light indicator on the dash.

My question is for you guys that have converted your trucks to LED, what trouble have you had to deal with to make the truck burn LED bulbs without the computer throwing "blown bulb" dash light indicators....
I have not had a blown bulb yet on my 2006 so I am now wondering even if the frontier has a "blown bulb" dash light indicator....I have'nt even thought about it til I read this thread.

I have a 2010. To my knowledge there is no blown bulb indicator. You will, however, notice a quick flash on your turn signals if you put led bulbs in those locations.

Pull the bulb out and throw on the blinker. It will react the same way.
