Will changing my front turn signals to super white leds make my 9G hyper flash? If it will is that damaging to my car in any way?
Edit: It's on my car now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9j5d4eYqlo
Yeah, it will unless you put load resistors in. But no, it shouldn't damage anything. At most, they make your turn signals more visible.

Okay thank you for the quick and prompt response.
No problem. Just so you know, if you put LEDs in your tails, you will mess with your cruise control. If you need a more in-depth explanation i'll link you to the thread

I am only putting it in my front headlights, will that still mess with it? and oh shit i did put some in my reverse lights and third brake light... you think i fucked up my cruise control?
Nope... You should be fine. I have a LED bulb in my 3rd brake light as well. Here's the thread I told you about LINK (https://www.thegalantcenter.org/showthread.php?t=44456&highlight=cruise+control). Basically, the voltage won't drop down to 0 like when you are off of the brake, and instead stays at like ~1.2V which makes the CC think that the brakes are engaged, therefore not allowing it to set. If you had no problems before, you're fine.

Done. Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9j5d4eYqlo
Lookin good bro. Just add some load resistors to slow the turn signals down and you're good! But that's not a pressing issue

I dunno, kinda digging the speed they are blinking and as long as the cops haven't bothered him yet.
They shouldn't. It bothered me some for whatever reason on my car.

So that's why my 3g wouldn't engage for some time (I got it in one time in the drivers seat and figured we somehow kicked the lever and broke it), I just thought it fixed itself LOL, but it was me pulling the LED's (I hated that they appeared as dots so went back to filaments)

Did you put LED's in for the rear turn signals too? Just occurred to me that if you didn't, it might burn out your filament bulbs quicker in the rear. Maybe...
Never had a problem like that... Should be fine
