In spite of that, many here who do the bulb replacement can (1) see down the road, and sides of the road, FAR BETTER than our stock halogen bulbs, and (2) aren’t getting flashed by drivers.
LEDs have lower current requirements than do halogen bulbs. If the vehicle left Toledo with the latter, that's what the CANBUS system is expecting to manage when the lights are on. This is particularly true with turn signals, which is why hyper-flash recurringly needs to be addressed when those bulbs are switched. Similar is true when changing the headlights, although in my experience some plug-and-play fitments (like the H13s I linked to in your other thread) are exactly that. "Flashes" are most frequently required when installing a new headlight assembly (example) in lieu of just replacing the bulbs.
Your computer on wheels doesn't like anything different. I'm not an electrical engineer (so I'll probably bomb on my explanation), but I think it has to do with the difference in the resistance in LEDs compared to halogens? If you put LEDs in older vehicles, you need the anti flicker modules installed. The JL computers sense the diffetences and thinks something is wrong or doesn't automatically detect when you switch without telling it. I think it's so sensitive, you have to tell it when you change wiper blades that aren't factory ?.
Give it time.
I ran the Beamtechs in my Sport for 3 years, they were a massive improvement over the halogens.So good luck with your $400 headlights that aren't any better than mine!
Hey if it's worth anything, I really really really want to get those oracle flush tail lights in, but the price they are at is definitely going to put it further down my list than I would prefer it to be.
?
I like those oracle flush tail lights also. I am hoping mopar would come out with an oem pair. I got the led option on my jlr and they are great. I also got the mopar off road lights(expensive but worth it). Unless you just want aftermarket led lights vs oem leds I understand. Me personally I have all the light I could want. In the old days I put a pair off ciebe off road lights on my golden eagle cj7. They were awesome with crystal glass lens, until you broke the lens off road. But like you said different strokes for different folks.Hey if it's worth anything, I really really really want to get those oracle flush tail lights in, but the price they are at is definitely going to put it further down my list than I would prefer it to be.
Joke's aside there's some really amazing options out there. Obviously different jeers for different steers.
I have upgraded main head light with oracle and tail lights. Ive had no luck with upgrading my halogen Bulbs for the DRL's. The Diode dynamics didnt work and the oracle LED bulbs didnt even fit my sockets.
Can I get the names or links to those? All I can find say "may need resistor" I am totally confused, to many styles, numbers to choose from. Not for an ADHD person. I have a 2018 Wrangler Rubicon New Unlimited JL. Any help is appreciated.
