LED DRL

[MrChilli]

I just replaced my DRL with LED lights, and I am getting the error telling me to check the lights. I know this is because the LED bulbs don't pull enough power, but is there a way to clear this without having to put resistors in place.

Yes, you need to buy LED bulbs which are made for the CANBUS system to avoid the error.

Deautokey (? something like that) has a lot of CANBUS compatible LED lighting. Not all of it perfect by any stretch though. I have their LED DRL and when I start the car they do flicker but after that they are fine. I had there LED H7 drop ins and yes they were bright, blinded oncoming vehicles, annoyed people in their rear views, shined to high making a light housing adjustment needed. Which in turn left me without usable high beams because with the housing adjusted "down" the high beams were pointed down as well (I could not find concrete details on adjusting the Hi/Lo beams independent of the entire head light housing so...)….
