Has anyone had the tail light warning light come on after they installed their LED tails? Does anyone know of an independent shop too get it reset? Or am I stuck going to the dealer?

View Full Version : Tail light warnings with LED's, need it reset. mikeqube 12-29-2008, 10:48 AM Has anyone had the tail light warning light come on after they installed their LED tails?

Sam 330ci 12-29-2008, 11:37 AM I was always under the impression that you dont need a reset, just some resistors to trick the car into thinking the stockers are back there. TopasBlau46 12-30-2008, 12:44 AM You don't need resistors, it's possible to have an indy shop or dealer "code" the car to recognize LED tails. However, if they are aftermarket and not OEM tails, they'll most likely just disable the tail light out light on the dashboard, as the electrical components aren't the same. greenleaf 12-30-2008, 12:57 AM yeah, it's just an LCM reflash, IIRC. mikeqube 12-31-2008, 07:10 PM You don't need resistors, it's possible to have an indy shop or dealer "code" the car to recognize LED tails.

I have Landshark a call to see what they would charge for the LCM reflash and they quoted $125. Does this seem about right? dophineh 01-02-2009, 11:13 AM i've gotten used to my warnings. i just ignore them. doesn't bother me mikeqube 01-02-2009, 09:23 PM i've gotten used to my warnings. i just ignore them. doesn't bother me I'm starting to get used to it now. Do you have any issues getting an inspection sticker with the warning light on? rdo1990 01-02-2009, 10:28 PM I'm starting to get used to it now. Do you have any issues getting an inspection sticker with the warning light on? Of course we have problems getting inspections its not like we have friends that would break the law and pass our cars :shifty |
