Trailer Led Lights & Bulb Failure Control

[Palhete]

Hi Everyone,

 

   Sorry to start a new topic with this subject, but had no luck or answer when looked for it.

 

   Do our cars fitted with OEM tow bar and electrics recognise trailer led bulbs?

 

   My car recognises my trailer incandescent (normal) bulbs with no problem, warning me when they do go out.

 

   I'm thinking to get a cargo box wich comes equiped with Led Lamps that draw less wattage, but I'm afraid that I will get the trailer failure all the time! Any help with this....?

 

   Do you know the solution if it does not recognise these LED bulbs? 

 

MAny Thanks

yes, when turning there is an extra light on the dash that flashes with the indicators.

There is a diagrammatic representation of the trailer shown on the columbus screen when connected (well it actually looks more like a small caravan)

Great to know that.....

 

Maybe I'm just afraid from what I've been reading about LED trailer lights....

 

Are your full LED(diodes), or you just put LEB "Bulbs" ???

 

Sorry for all these questions

From what I can tell these are complete led Lights, as this was my dad's trailer and he ditched the old light assemblies and fitted new LED units, I'll confirm tonight when I get home.
