Rear Led Bulbs

[HTM101]

Have you found rear LED bulbs with adequate resistance that won't trigger the dash warning bulb;
an 1156 for the brake light,
and 7507 for the turn signals

I purchased the bulbs above from Super Bright LEDs and they have triggered the dash warning light.

Thanks

Just code them to disable the hot/cold bulb checks

I found multiple bulb choices with built-in resistors on Amazon. I bought the LED version for both the 1156 and 7507 bulb. They work well and subsequently the dash light has switched itself off, leaving that safety/warning feature still functional.

When coding for LEDs, you only code the individual bulbs locations where you put the LEDS, therefore "leaving that safety/warning feature still functional" for all other bulbs in the car, so no loss in safety, but yeah, resistors work too
I've seen some cases where the LEDs will flash on for a few milliseconds every minute or so when the LED is off and the computer "cold bulb check" tests the bulb with a quick pulse of low power to measure resistance, there are many variables, so YMMV.
