I couldn't find this topic here. I tend to look directly at things and not see them. Oh well.
I need to know how to wire some LED's to work as my parking lights and to flash sequentially outwards for my turn signals, like some of the new and some of the old Ford Mustangs.
I think I will be putting 5 LED's in each headlight and 5 in each side mirror for now. Eventually, I will put some in my tail lights as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this topic already exists, I apologize, just send me the link. Thanks!!

Yeah. I remember the Cougars.

Try this circuit.

snoopyrider, it doesn't flash because most turn signal circuits work on the resistive method - it must see a load for example the resistance of the lamp filament. If you experiment with a resistor between the hot side of the lamp to ground, you might get them to flash. Try a 6 ohm / 20 - 50 watt resistor.

Big Dog - NICE link for the flash circuit...I might try that one day.
snoopyrider - I believe you should install an electronic flasher unit. This will resolve the no flash problem. These are available at auto parts stores at around $10 or so. This is a common oversight with people installing led turn signal lamps. big dog is also right about trying to resolve with resistors....however on most forums I have read people with same problem. Good luck.
