FX4 and LED Headlights

[Rotorhead451]

As shown in #116 post above, my LEDs operate perfectly, and have no issues.

I have those ones, watch the reflection of your lights in the car in front once autostart restarts your car at traffic lights etc. Assuming you have your lows as your DRL

All LED bulbs in stock housing. Lows, Highs, DRL's, fogs, brakes, reverse, license plate.

My DRL's and brakes cause hyperflash on the internal indicator, but not on the external turn signal itself. I'm assuming this could be disabled with FORScan.

I'm getting a bit annoyed at the ravmix lowbeam LED lights specifically the flicker on autostart

Has any one bought LEDs that don't flicker?

I will leave the main beams in, I don't foresee a time where I will have them on and have autostart engage

We bought Hikari Philips Lumileds & no flicker

Finally brought mine into the dealer to complain about the totally useless factory halogen lights. They "adjusted" them as high as possible. Made no significant difference in night driving. Even with the LED bulb replacements, the projector design is poor and the cutoff is too low on dark roads.

Anyone reading this with Halogen lights, please file a complaint on the NHTSA site if you think they should be better. There are only four complaints already, not enough, and eventually this could be addressed. Even if you spend the money to upgrade them on your own, a recall could provide you with potential OEM quality LED bulbs or a full replacement with the LED modules. It just takes 5 minutes to fill out the form.

The ONLY way this gets fixed is with more complaints.

Mine flicker too. I’ll have to order the more expensive ones that Mike Wolfe recommends.

Mines is starting to do this thing where the light output goes down. I dont think they go out because i can see the light reflect off cars, but the view infront of me dims dradtically almost as if it were goin out.

Placed an order for the low beams today as above, to be fair to ravmix supplier I raised it as an issue with them and they refunded me the full amount, no quibble.

I will be trying the led simple headlight replacement as well. Thanks foe the great thread.

I saw that there are full taillight led assemblies. I am about to check if that one is plug and play with the XLT. I believe it should be, but haven't looked at the breakout diagram yet.

Anyone have any ideas on the taillight assembly replace if it is simpler than the headlight. I gotta believe it's just a pull and pop.
