led conversion questions
hey guys. im not really sure where the correct spot for this would be cause its just some questions i have because im ignorant and cant seem to find the answers lol. i wanna do the led conversion on my lights (obviously), and i was wondering where all i need to put load stabilizers. i have 4 seperate brake lights, and the 2 bulbs in the high center, and 4 separate turn signals on just the trunk.
the front end has 4 turn signals, 2 per side and they alternate between which one is flashing. (front-side,front-side)
what i need to know, is how many load stabilizers do i need? i know if i remove just one of the 2 turn signal bulbs on the tail end of the car, i get the hyperflash. and i traced the wires from the trunk and from the taillight and they are separate in the loom they go into. im not sure if they ever splice together. so does that mean each bulb needs one? and what about the fronts which alternate?
and as far as the brake lights, being that the whole reason you get hyperflash is because of low draw, if i replace them all with leds, wouldn't that cause the car to think i have no brakes and not let me shift from park? if so wouldn't i need a load stabilizer? and then we're back to the whole do i need it on all the bulbs because they seem to all be wired independent of eachother issue.
thanks alot guys. sorry that i cant seem to find the answers for myself.
heres a video from when i tinted my tails to give you an idea of where all the bulbs im talking about are.

You should only need 1 upgraded flasher for the whole system.
Converting to all LED, should not have an effect on your shift interlock system.
A quick Google search and I found this site...

i think that the system flasher only works if you have the older setup that you can unplug the oem flasher module out of the fuse box, the newer ones like his are controlled by a module. you have to make it think the resistance of each bulb is still in the circuit. it doenst matter where though just parallel the equal resistance any where in the circuit thats handy

im honestly thinking of shelving the project untill i can afford the bulbs from vleds. after hearing what happened to travis with the ebay ones im kind of scared of the cheap bulbs.
