Tail Light

[Topher88]

I installed some LED tail lights and ever since i put them in the Brake lamp goes on saying that one of my tail lights are out. My question is if there is any way i can pull a fuse or anything other then taking apart the dash to pull out that single red light... The red warning light gets very annoying.... Any ideas would be great. thanks for taking a look

LED doesn't take a lot of current so the computer is thinking that the bulbs are blown. this could be fix using a load resistor. now if you must ask how to install it, then do a search.

I did my searching and i know how to install it and everything but i am still a little fuzzy on some things. Will it make my lights brighter? i probably sound stupid but if you guys have an idea that would be great.

the only thing a resistor will do is stop your "brake lamp" light from going on. nothing else.

^ Word. When the brake circuit sees less than about a 50-60W load, it will turn on. The LED lights use a quarter of that at most.

mine went on after i installed mine, but goes off randomly as well.

So what size resistor should one use? My led tails are coming today and I can't find what size resistor to use

 

[finch13]

LED tail lamp housings or bulbs? You only need a resistor for the bulbs.

if ur getting led tailights (housing) it should come with resistor also if ur signals are hyperblinking u can buy a led relay on ebay to fix that

This is what you want to do if your turn signals are hyper blinking after installing LED lighting, give these a read.
