Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a load equalizer?
Only for turn signal use. Add an ORACLE Load Equalizer (50W / 6 Ohm) in parallel with the bulb to prevent rapid-flash. It is not required for brake, reverse, running, or tail light applications.

Is installation difficult?
No. Remove the factory 1156 bulb and insert the ORACLE SMD bulb into the same socket - no wiring changes, roughly a 15-minute job.

Is it sold as a pair?
No, it is sold individually. Order two for a full replacement pair.

What colors are available?
Cool White (5105-001), Red (5105-003), and Amber (5105-005).

How long will it last?
The 5050 SMD chips are rated for 100,000 hours of continuous use.
