Kaan W Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Right, The LED lights should not cause this, in all the sets I've made since 2006 for the UK, USA and Australia - including the 4 sets I've had on my own car, I've never seen or heard of this and ref the current draw - its not current it the voltage - the LED lights are designed to run at 12.6 volts plus. A 12v battery on its own is never 12v, more like 11.5v ish. LED's are very fussy over supply voltage. No Ballast resistor is required across the brake lights for the Bulb Failure system - I've always removed the Bulb Fail ECU in the boot. So I have to remove this for the warning lights to not come on? Could it be a possible earthing problem somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 So I have to remove this for the warning lights to not come on? Could it be a possible earthing problem somehow? by removing it, it will stop the yellow warning light - maybe all related. IF an earthing problem occurred within the lights, they just would not work at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try this when I put the lights back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I have never heard or seen of a fault like this before with the lights I've supplied. It will get rid of the yellow warning light, the red ones may be coincidental. From what I recall from the supra wiring, the two red warning lights and the systems they're connected to are completely independent from the lighting wiring, the only possible thing that could link them is the Earth.
