    Can-bus compatible LEDs

    Anyone know if the can-bus compatible LEDs will work with the autocheck system?

    Was considering running LED taillights, indicators etc if there is a workaround to mean autocheck works correctly? Anyone tried this?

      Alex,

      Autocheck only looks at the brake light filament of the brake light bulb and the separate tail light.

      That means indicators and the 5w side light bulb in the brake light bulb aren't monitored.

      I tried playing with LED rear lights but gave up because I couldn't get a combination that was bright enough to be anything better than dangerous.......

          to echo John's comment, I was playing about with LED indicator bulbs in my new red rears and they were not bright enough and didn't have a great spread of light
