LED Stop/Tail Light load resistor

Featured Replies

Just fitted some LED Stop/Tail lights  :D (supposed to be CANBUS compatible) but still getting the flashing glow plug indication on the dash :thumbdown:  so have purchased inline resistors to remove the problem.

 

Looking at the wiring diagram for the stop and reversing lights from the Haynes manual the question is would I need to add a resistor to each side or would i get away with just using 1 attached to the Red/Black positive feed line that the brake lights run off?

Looks like that may not be the problem - checked this morning when parked the car up and all brake lights on when ignition is on - looking through the forum it looks as if it is the brake light switch that is busted  :swear: don't have the time or place to change it myself so looks like it's going to hve to go to the garage to get changed  :$$$:
