Led headlights

[Bacardiron]

Hey Y’all , anybody have any experience with putting LED bulbs in their ST. I have a 2007 and swapped the bulbs, with what I was told were the right ones for the truck. I have a light on the dash now, for both right and left sides. They both seem to work. The bulbs are H-13 2008 and the connectors are the right ones.

Need load resistors as well. The lower resistance in the led drivers makes the body control module think there is a bulb out(a failed bulb has no resistance). You’ll need one for each bulb(or more if you swap tail lights out for leds also). They go by different names as well, can bus chip/module, anti can bus module, or some collection of words that make it seem moar smarter. End of the day, it’s a resistor, and you’ll need them to get rid of the faults.

Thanks Blown09, I’ll look around for some resistors

Following. I’m having the same issue.

I had the same issue with my '09. First had just the bulbs which errored every time, then I installed resistors which helped reduce the dash errors but they were still relatively frequent.
After digging around (probably on here somewhere) I bought these:

Not only are the high/low patterns much better but the dash errors were reduced to once every 3 or 4 months.

Note: I also ditched the resistors I had installed with the first set of LEDs when I installed these

Installed resistors in mine, No more problem.... Photos are on the FB forum.

Todd, what is the FB forum groups name? I need the resisters also.
