Default Thanks WhiteXKR!!!

The problem I've been having with the rear lights have finally been alleviated with his help. It seems the after market lights were drawing more than the common 5amps that the OEM lights would use. He popped in a 10 and they are working normally. Hopefully I'm done losing my rear lights.

Now I need to figure out how to remove the "check rear lights" from the dash.

Thanks again!

Tim

Thanks for taking the time to post.

I hope this resolved your problem for good. The brake light filaments on the 1157 bulbs (and 7528 bulbs) we are using draw about 2.1 Amps steady state, but I think they were blowing the 5A fuses when they first turned on with cold filaments, when the current can momentarily surge to 5-10 times that for a few milliseconds. OEM bulbs I found are 1.75 A steady state.

I am going to add to my list of JagWrangler projects to develop a means to either disable or adjust the bulb failure sensors, either for aftermarket lights like you have or for those who want to replace the lights with LEDs.

p90x schedule is meant to be a combination of a variety of types of workouts and is essentially meant to shock your body into shape over 90 days. There is crazy stuff like plyometrics or jump training, weight training, cardio, and even a hardcore version of yoga. The videos have you working out 6 days a week and do require a few special (albeit low cost) pieces of equipment to really do it.
