Headlights and coding options

Willsbma · 11-21-2015, 09:04 AM

I swapped halogen to xenon (no errors surprisingly) I've been messing around in ncs and added the $522 to VO, however my led turn signals still pulse slightly. Only changed it in one module because I ran into an error trying to read another. If I start over and read the VO I can see 522 is there so it must have updated. You think updating the second module will fix it? Or do I have to change other options?

You need to code out the bulb checks in the FRM module.

Even without errors? Are the bulb checks causing the LEDS to pulsate?

Yes. LEDs have a much faster reaction time and need less power to light up. So the small quick pulse that the FRM sends to do the bulb check will light up the LED, but won't light up a normal bulb.
