Dead Tail Light after Aftermarket LED installed

[jludave]

Good luck, have fun.

No luck needed.

You seem to dispute what I said.

The BRP Auto pair of LED taillights I was running were 100% plug-and-play. They have built-in resistors, so it was simply a matter of removing the OEM halogen tails and installing the LED taillights. You can see their install video here. I ran these for just over a year. No programming with a Tazer or JSCAN needed. These went into a Sport Altitude that came with halogen taillights from the factory.

The other day, I installed a set of Winjet Renegade LED taillights. They are also 100% plug-and-play, again with no programming needed. Here's an install video for those.

The Kiwi Master taillights are also 100% plug-and-play. So are the set by Oracle (install video here) and most others.

When installing OEM LED taillights into a vehicle that came with halogen taillights from the factory, then a Tazer or JSCAN is needed to flash the vehicle.

How do they solve the flicker problem?

How do they solve the flicker problem?

There's been no flicker on either set I've installed. The 2 sets I've had, have built-in-load resistors that take care of that and also eliminate hyperflash. Some sets have external load resistors that mount to a plate which then gets clipped to a body panel. They do the same thing.

Mine had in line resistors, so I assume that takes care of the CANBUS issues one might have if you didn't have them. And it sounds like all the lights that @jludave used had in-line resistors or ones that were integrated in the circuit.

that will keep the back from flagging a bulb out warning or hyper flash, but they will be flickering whether or not you can see it.

If mine were flickering, it wasn't noticeable on either set.

The point is, neither set required any type of programming and the majority of aftermarket taillights also do not.

No noticeable flickering w/ my set, but my eyes are old so???
