Proper Afterburners

Steve: Not hard, just need space for them to heat up and not hurt anything.

Pete: See above and below.

Since LED's don't draw much power, the system thinks the bulbs are out. It looks for, IIRC, about 2A of draw. This means that the resistors just sit there and dissipate ~26 watts.

ahhhhhh, that makes sense... but also seems like a hassle...

Grr. Finally got around to installing the load resistors and found that the BCM still thought the bulb was out. :bulgy-eyes: Lucky I only did one to start.

I'll get a current reading on the bulb to see what's up.

Keep up the great work can hardly wait for the final product.

Thanks Tony for attempting this.

Well, I discovered that the light that failed yesterday was the very first one that I assembled. I'm glad as I know what the problem was. The others are just fine so far.

good things come from trial and error, lol

[Toasty]

Ugh, bringing this thread up just make us want these MOAR!

[TonyNo]

Bwah ha ha. The plan is working...

[RKFDGEO]

Apex has some coming out that say are the ones we all want. We'll see.
If I don't like em, then I will just have to wait longer for yours.

I still want Tony's!!!!! I am waiting.......

[TonyNo]

We shall see what comes.

Wow, that seems so efficient. LOL Kinda defeats one of the purposes of LEDs, right? I would think there's a way to disable that checking feature in the PCM or something?

Maybe down the road once the BCM is hacked...

[RKFDGEO]

Just pulled the trigger on those Apex tails. Delivery late Sept.

Wow! Even without a video or pics of them illuminated?
