Hi, I don't want to put a resistor in because it will need to consume a large power, which (1) generate a lot of heat and (2) defeats one of the purposes of using LEDs to reduce power consumption.Y don't U want to put in the load resister? Maybe the power regulator for the LED will help simulate this load.
I beg to differ. The standard indicator bulb at the back of the Camry is 8W, drawing 0.66A from the 12V battery. My home-made super-bright LEDs of 9 LEDs is drawing less than 0.1A (1.2W) so there is a huge difference in power consumption in my case.The power consumption between a standard filement bulb, and an LED is extremely minimal. Not even worth it if thats the only reason you switched.
So that I know I can leave some of these lights on (when the engine is not runngin) longer than normal without the fear that they would drain my battery.What do you need the power savings for?

It's true, probably not so much with the flashers but if you have your 4 ways and taillights on for a few hours, you notice how much harder it is for the battery to turn over. I had just my 4 ways on for about 4-5 hours and I had some serious trouble trying to start my car.:rofl2:

noob question, but where is this module located on a 5th gen camry?

You may have issues with inspection. I think by law, blinkers should not be blinking fast. Thats why all blinkers blink at a certain rate.is there any harm in letting the blinkers flash quickly? thinking about just leaving it the way it is if its not hurting anything. my wife thinks they look cool when they flash quickly lol
