hi
i just recently tried putting LED t10 bulbs in the parking front

the problem i am facing is they always remain on AS dim ,
when i turn on the parking they brighten up , when i turn off they dim down ,

this is not the problem with normal t10 filament type bulbs ,
when i change back to filament type T10 bulbs they work as normal


is it just standard that some voltage passes through even when turned off and normal high wattage bulbs dont show it but low wattage LED bulbs show it ??????

i ordered 10 blue LED first , they looked bad so i ordered 10 more in white

all 20 of the LED bulbs i have do this ,

or is there some wiring issue ,
i never experienced and blown parking bulbs or any bulbs if i recall

has anyone tried LED bulbs in S-type or S-type R front parking

thanks

 

That is normal for the led bulb. Mine do exactly the same, I think it is because they will run on minute voltage, they do eventually go out after 5- 10 mins. Paul

 

it has to do with resistance.......the LED bulb does not have the same resistance as a standard halogen bulb. if you add a resister to the wiring it will not do that. It has been known in newer vehicles to trip the BCM into thinking a bulb is out.... case in point my vw gti is one of the cars that does this.

 

Jus like 12v said it has something to do with risistance I did a few LEDs in a few car i do alot of custom work check out www.superbrightleds.com magnificent prices on everything you'll find everything you need from innterior,head,tail and alot more including motherboards for custom work to you can also get those resistors to hope this help

 

thanks to all ,
yeah i also noticed it goes completely off after some time ,
now i have peace :P ,
cheers

 

I changed all bulbs in car and parking lights to leds and noticed the same thing and a day or two later my battery was dead had to remove all leds and go back to halos (i really liked the white led lights in the car)..is there a single place i can hook up a resistor or do i have to install resistors to all leds (roughly 14 leds)
Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Mine did the same also. So i took them all out and bought new Can-bus led's and now there fine, They go off when there supposed to.

 

change all leds that i had with can-bus leds and they do not stay dimly lit but still the battery is dead after a day or two has anyone had this same problem....HELPPPPPPPP PLEASE
