    Omg thank you! I wasn't sure which bulbs to get since some say they need resistors to prevent hyper blinking. That website you have is amazing. I think I'll get "The Whole Package".

    Thank you!! I’ve put LED’s everywhere but front T/S because I was afraid of the hyper flash problem and while the rear sequential T/S came with plug and play load resistors I was never quite sure if that would be enough load to take care of the front and I never found anything that definitively stated whether or not the bulb was canbus ready. Yours is the first review video I’ve run across yet that proves it works. Just placed my order and your discount code is still valid!

    I bought these lights and experienced hyper flash. I got in touch with lasfit and they sent replacement bulbs thinking that I received a faulty bulb. My MX-5 is a 2023.

    • @DriveMX5
      @DriveMX5  Год назад

      I hope it was just a faulty bulb and the new ones work. Please let me know as if not, there may have been a design change for the 2023s requiring a different bulb

    Do you also have rear turn signal as LED? I have one of those sequential LED in the rear with resistor and heard that it will create hyper flash if both ends are LED.

    • @DriveMX5
      @DriveMX5  4 года назад +1

      I'm sorry for such a late reply, but I just installed the sequential LED rear turn signals and have no hyperflash. The fronts are CANBUS ready and the sequential rears and in-line resistors to eliminate hyperflash

  • @Ginbaubabe
    @Ginbaubabe 2 года назад

    Cool! That looks like a T20 bulb for the original. What about the rear indicators? Are they LED from factory or filament bulbs?

    • @DriveMX5
      @DriveMX5  2 года назад

      Rear indicators are filament bulbs. I did upgrade those with the sequential signals by Flyin' Miata.

    • @jamespark6132
      @jamespark6132 Год назад

      I like the filament bulbs socket more than the led circuit board. You could put any kind of led bulb you want and is cheaper to replace. I hate manufacture led if it go bad, you might replace the whole assembly unit. I might do rear turn signal. I think the front might be to bright for on coming traffic

      No, the original are older technology incandescent bulbs. New ones being LED are, by design, on and off without fading. If you like the original then keep them! Personally I prefer the look of these LEDs. There might be someone out there that makes an LED that has a fade-out

    Have you noticed any loss in radio reception with yours when you are giving a turn signal? I installed a set on my truck and it cuts out the radio everytime it blinks. I'm thinking about buying a set for my mx-5 but wonder if it will have similar results, especially since I have the stubby antenna.
