07-15 LED Tails, LED Brake and LED Reverse bulb project.

[cheapjeep]

I have an '09 and the flashers are controlled by the bcm. This is strait from Ford:

2008+ vehicles have the the function of the turn signal flasher was incorporated into the software of the Smart Power Distribution Junction Box (SPDJB or SJB) or the BCM.For proper function of LED lighting the SJB / BCM must be reconfigured to turn off the lamp-outage (fast flash) indication.

The following are the basic steps to turn off the lamp-outage (fast flash) configuration:

1. Ensure that the IDS is updated to the latest Database.
2. Select " Programmable Parameters" in the IDS Toolbox.
3. Select "Exterior Lighting".
4. Select "Stop and tail lamp outage configuration".
5. Select "Lamp outage turned off".

Great info!! if this works, i can remove my resistors!

You replace the current relay (which is resistance based) with a time based relay. It's probably all of a 1 minute job once you have the relay.



Any bulb out or significant drop (which LEDs are) will cause a variance in the flash rate. Manufacturers typically use resistance based to alert drivers of a faults.

I understand that...i switched the flasher in my truck cuz everything is LED

Had purchased some LED turn signals and was getting the hyperflash in my 2013. Went to dealer with the Instructions from cheapjeep. Dealer wanted to charge me $115 to do it. Plugged in and there was no option showing for the Stop and Tail lamp. Went home and got the resistors. Installed them yesterday and they work great. Cost me $6 on amazon.

Isn't it illegal in other stated to use/replace LED bulb as you brake or tail light?

 

[tsingson]

Not sure which states say that but I don't see why?

I guess beacuse LED light are so bright that it could lead to temporary blindness specially to rear drivers.

 

[GAINMOB]

all manufacturers are going LED now so that isn't valid

Saw this thread and im wondering what brand are the tailights and third brake light? These things were bolt in and go?

Tails look like Anzo/CG/Eagle Eyes (all the same manufacturer). I can't recall who makes the third brake lights, but if I remember correctly the 2nd gen 3rd brake light fits 3rd gens (someone will correct me if I'm wrong).
