angel eyes flashes after lux 5.0 install

mikki · 03-01-2008, 08:26 PM

I had my lux 5.0 installed about a week ago. I noticed they were flashing/blinking whle i was backing out of the garage. It did it for about 10 seconds.. So i tried it w/o starting the car. They did the same thing in the after pushing the start button twice. Sorry can't think of whats that mode is now. Has this happen to anyone else?

Thanks,
Rich

Its normal, if you put the lights in automatic mode it doesnt do it.

Yeah, that's normal. It's a bug they haven't figured it out yet. I think it's rather cool that my car does it with my lux.

its just the car sending signal to check the bulb-out error. and LEDS gets light up really easily when theres very little electircity going thru.

No, its not a bug.

When you start the car, the car sends small surges of power around to check to see if the bulbs are there and working. A normal halogen bulb takes more power to light up, so we never see these small power surges when we have our stock bulbs in. LEDs light up with much less power, so the LUXs flash because they pick up the little surges. It's perfectly normal.
