Are you looking to replace your standard halogen turn signal bulbs with something brighter? LED turn signal bulbs have become relatively inexpensive in recent years, allowing vehicle owners to upgrade at a low cost. In addition to offering brighter performance, LED bulbs generally last significantly longer than standard halogen bulbs, meaning you’ll save money in the long run without having to constantly replace your bulbs.
When it comes to shopping for LED turn signal bulbs, you may notice many of the products on the market look similar and advertise many of the same features. For the most part, products in this space are actually alike, the main difference being which LED chips they use. Some products will also feature aluminum housings and projector-style lenses for better durability and performance.
One thing to note is that nearly all LED turn signal bulbs may require resistors or flash relays to prevent error codes or what’s called “hyper blinking,” which is the car believing the turn signal bulb is out, causing the flasher to blink rapidly. It’s something to keep in mind if that bothers you, since adding resistors to your setup could be troublesome depending on your vehicle.
With all that in mind, here’s a list of the top 5 best LED turn signal bulbs you can get at a low cost. Again, many of these products have similar features, so we do highlight what LED chips are used for which bulb, and any other standout features a specific product may have.
