LED mods for 2000 LS

[cjstylee]

I recently just purchased a pair of LED lights that can replace the factory brake lamp and/or rear turn signal bulbs. Each LED bulb has 19 smaller LED's in it. The LED's worked in both but I ran into a couple minor problems that I was needing a little help with.....

- With the LED's installed as the brake lights, my car would beep at me every time the brake's were pushed. It would say the brake lights were out. Is there any way to override this?

- With the LED's installed as the rear turn signals, the center LED in the cluster stays lit even when the car is turned off and everything. The car recognizes the bulbs though.

Please help! Thx!

This has been covered before but if I can remember correctly you will have to put in a resistor to get rid of the bulb out error message. I"m sure others who have done this will chime in with their experience.

I did it on my gen2, I dont know if it works the same in a gen1 but it wouldn't hurt to try

again, this is for a gen2 so you'll have to verify if you have the same color for the brake and running wires.

also since you haven't used these before, they get hotter than the fury of a thousand suns, remember this when you mount them.

Not just one though, that's the trucky part. You need one to take the bulb out message away and one to dim the lights when you drive with the parking lights on, or at night, so when you press the brakes the lights get brighter
