[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 453436, member: 23341"] LED lighting is great . But it has pitfalls and if not installed correctly can be a huge PITA. EMI from LED lighting is a very common issue. PO had put in partial Halo headlights . Install wasn't done correctly . They were causing radio issues, heater blower fan not working sometimes . Gremlins . Put in anti flicker device and that stabilized the lights . But other gremlins. persisted. Read stories about guys having to zip tie headlight connectors to make tight . I ordered and put in new headlight connectors . That stopped the headlights from crapping out . When I joined here is when I learned about JSCAN. PO didn't wire up correctly and left DRL on. When I purchased new headlights and installed JSCAN. Shut off DRL. All the other gremlins stopped. Heater blower works perfectly , no more radio glitches . All because the PO didn't install and setup the LED headLights correctly . The Quadratec anti flicker I had put in previously crapped out after about 4 months . So just lived with a minor flicker. With the new lights zero flicker issues. I've seen a couple pickups on the road with headlights pulsing like a ffnn strobe light . It was bad. Obviously an LED install gone awry . Read stories about turn signals going super fast . Usually after LED tail light install That can be fixed with a reasistor. I'm running Auxbeam LED rear tailights and been working perfect. Reading reviews on the webpage from my headlights many issues people complain about is incorrect install . The brake issue is a weird one . But not all that surprising . Glad you sorted that one out . Back in the day you replaced a bulb or halogen and didn't think twice. I now Routinely check all my lights . Especially before leaving a trail. Will make sure all lights operate properly. Cause even though manufactures say 50k hours . The drawback is I think the LED's are not as reliable e as your traditional bulb or halogen . Or they cause other problems to the electrical system one way or another . Sorry that's a bit long . Lol [/QUOTE]
