Has anyone figured out why the LM470 works fine with some TJ’s and others have problems with the hazard lights blowing the fuse?
Is there only one type of 3157. I just put smoke signals in and I replaced the bulbs with amber ones. When I turn the turn signal on, it turns the one on in the opposite out side, the little one. I switched the front ones back to clear and they all work fine now. The 3157 looks like it has something extra in it compared to the 3157 amber that I bought.
By the way this is an 06 LJ.

The side marker light grounds through the turn signal filament on the front marker/turn signal bulb. Normally, putting voltage on the turn signal element of the 3157 should cause the side marker light to turn off.
Just a regular amber bulb. The fender bulb was a regular bulb as well. It was very strange. I'm going look at it again on monday. Too nice of a weekend.

Don’t blame you a bit. Be sure to post when you get a chance to look at it again.

Anyone know which bulb is in the ‘second’ dome light above the cargo area at the back of the hard top? My ‘98 Sahara has one right above the back window. Is it the same as the dome light on the sound bar? Also, which lights are supposed to be under the dash in the footwells? Both of mine are missing. Going to stock up on some spares. Thanks!
Everything right here in one neat post: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...ghts-of-your-jeep-wrangler-tj-with-leds.9149/

I appreciate everything that has been posted so far on this topic (THANK YOU), but I can't seem to find any post on this site that has the bulb type for the hardtop light. I'm asking specifically about a 97-02 hardtop, but I'm sure the 03-06 hardtop has a lightbulb as well. Does anyone know that bulb type for LED replacement? Mine works but it is super dim.
looks like Dome Light Bulb Size: 211-2 from earlier post in this thread.
dig through that thread for more info...looks like the 97 had slightly different bulb sizes.
Also, the 03-06 did not have a hardtop light. Overhead lighting was done with the soundbar lights only from the factory.

Old post but on my 02 soft top TJ the dome light is the same as the steplight and is a 906. Found out when the 211-2 didn’t fit

Maybe this is why I cannot get these LED's to work on my front Turn Signal? When I put them in, it causes the Rear LED's to malfunction as seen in the video below. When I put back in the incandescent bulb, the LED bulbs in the rear work fine. I've also noticed in the front the alternating Turn signal and side marker.
I know you cannot replace the side markers with LED, but is there a way to get the front amber turn signals to work? They are so much brighter!
I have an ‘05 TJ and swapped the break lights, front running lights and turn signals for LED bulbs. I replaced my flasher ray with the LM470 relay and my front running lights dont come on except for when i put a turn signal on, they will strobe very very dimly. anyone else have this issue and found a solution? head lights and reverse lights are still stock.
Just picked up my Jeep yesterday and already starting with the mods…. looking for lights and found this forum. I gotta say it is awesome stuff! Really looking forward to picking brains as I start my rehab. Gonna be cleaning up the paint and trim next I think. Cheers!
