It seems that the LED lights have a small problem when used with flasher controlled idiot lights (like the turn signal indicator or the emergency brake indicator).
The system doesn't recognize that the bulb is there since the LED uses such low voltage. I am going to figure out a way to place a resistor across the bulb to simulate the load of the bulb. I will let you know what I find out. Regards, Qarl P.S. Engineering has been a bit of a challenge as I don't really have a car that is functioning.... |
