Front & Rear warning "lights" lights.

[TITAN]

Howdy.

I have installed T10 LED lights for the parkers in my headlights and LED license plate lights for that white euro effect. All work fine and well, however on my dash the rear and front lights are indicating red..... Whats a way around this? and why is this happening like so?

Thanks in advance.

most likely the resistance of the bulb... you'll probably need to put a resister inline to stop the warning lights...

Below is from a guy flogging LED bulbs that don't cause the problem...(not sure if they work though!)

Most modern european cars have sophisticated systems of checking whether bulbs are functioning. On most models, the unit which checks whether bulbs are functioning is the light (or lamp) control module. These modules check the bulbs on a current draw basis so if a bulb is not drawing current, the module will trigger a warning on the cars on board computer. As LED bulbs draw less current than standard 5w wedge bulbs, they will trigger the light control module to cause a warning on the on board computer. These LED bulbs overcome that problem by use of load resistors which carry the remainder of the load. This means that the light control module will not sense a lack of current draw and will not trigger a warning on your cars on board computer.

I have no affiliation with the seller.... Only found this by searching for LED and warning lights...
