I'm replacing the taillights on my Envoy with a set of taillights for an Isuzu Ascender. I'm going to be running all LEDs instead of standard incandescent bulb, and will need a load resistor for the turn signal. I'm wondering if a 50 watt/6 ohm resistor work for this purpose?
More details on the swap. Physically, the taillights are a direct fit, however, a couple of wiring changes will need to be made to the sequence:
Envoy
Top: Turn Signal
Middle: Park/Brake Light
Bottom: Park/Running Light
Ascender
Top: Park/Brake Light
Middle: Turn Signal
Bottom: Reverse
The Envoy has backup lights integrated into the rear bumper, and I don't like the idea of quad backup lights, so I've rewired the reverse light to serve as a park/running light:
New Setup
Top: Park/Brake Light (Red)
Middle: Turn Signal (Red)
Bottom: Park/Running Light (Red)
The bulb I'm considering is this for all three in red. Any thoughts on red for the turn signals over amber?
