My turn signal lamp bulbs are burned out time to replace. I was looking at rockauto DORMAN Part # 3157SWHP for corner lights but will those mess things up? I am confused about LEDs being used as corner lights??? They mess things up because I think LEDs aren't made to function as flashers but just supposed to stay on but then why are they sold as corner lights?

Same with the parking lamp bulb and tail light bulbs. I can't see a thing at night when backing up I need some LEDs back there? Can I get some LED bulbs or will it mess things up also?

These Crown Vic lights are nice. I know the Vic has 4 bulb holes in the tail lights vs the 2 in the Marauder. Can it be retrofit, modified to work in the Marauder? I can't see why not? Has anyone done it? My tail lights are also not in the best shape and wouldn't mind getting new ones.

I can set you up with LEDs.

The only way LEDs would "mess" anything up is by not adding resistors to the turn signal circuits. Since LEDs have less resistance than incandescent bulbs the LCM will "think" you have blown bulbs and will rapid flash.

I have LED bulbs in the front marker, front running / turn signals, rear brake / turn signals, lights, CHMSL and most of the interior lights. Properly installed you'll have no problems.

For reverse lights I have 15W HIDs. Nice and bright. I also installed "eagle eye" bolt LEDs in the license plate frame.

You can also add two additional stop / turn signal bulbs per side to the existing housings.

fastblackmerc has LED everything. LED exterior light. LED intirior lights. LEDs in the trunk. LEDs under the hood. He replaced his spark plugs with LEDs and he pours 2 cups of LEDs into his tank with every fill-up. If you wanna hack his account, his password is LED4lyfe1.

You bet!!!!!!!!:eek:
 
@ fastblackmerc...What would the approximate cost be from you to provide LEDS for stop, brake tail, reverse, license plate, cornering and park lights on my 2004 Marauder?

Feel free to PM the answer if you don't want to post it here.

Thanks

Smart man. I trust you, so prepare for a PayPal payment for the amount you require.

PayPal is preferred (send money to friends and family option), but I also will accept, cash, check or money order. Will have to wait for check or money order to clear before products are shipped.
 
I'm getting the stuff I really need first then I'll call on Fastblackmerc to refine my MM with his innovations...
 
Fastblackmerc - I know I'm 6 months late to the thread, but can you PM me a price for the same all-around setup? I just got done reading the October LED thread and I think I like your setup better ... Thanks!
