So i have a quick question for anyone who has used LED globes in tail lights.
have you found ones that draw enough power to not trigger the bulb out warning?
if so which ones.
i know that LEDs have much less power draw and will therefore trigger the bulb out warning unless the light is drawing enough power.
i do not want to have to install load resistors on all my circuits so just wanted to know if anyone has experience in this.
i changed my front lights to ones with halos that alos acted as indicators so installed load resistors to regulate flashing and stop globe out warning.
I have LED lights in my reverse lights and do not have the problem.
just wanted to know others experience as it might help me buy the right globes rather than just trial and error or installing load resistors.

I'm also interested in installing LED bulbs throughout. Wasn't sure if I would need a Canbus decoder to provide enoiugh resistance to the head lights but it sounds like I do. Does anyone know the dash warning light bulb size?

canbus globes are required.
although the car does not have a canbus system it does require the correct resistance to not trigger.
i got canbus globes for indicators.
my tail light and brake light globes required load resistors wired in to work without triggering the warning
