Led brake lights

[Top Ram]

Ever since installing LED Tail lights and after dark and before sun up I have a dash light warning I have a parking light out. My knob is set on auto position for lights. Along with the dash light warning a bell sound goes off each time I apply the brakes pedal early morning or later in the evening and becoming annoying. I was told there's a relay you plug into the fuse box that will eliminate the issues I'm having and hoping someone here might know of what and where to find such a relay if they are available. Anyone know of such ? Thanks!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong since my truck has OEM LED tails, but you might need to enable something using AlphaOBD

If you didn't get CAN compatible LEDs, you need to modify the BCM to tell it you have LEDs, or the logic thinks they are out, as LED takes a LOT less power compared to "halogen" bulbs.

CAN compatible LEDs add some high wattage resistors to burn enough extra power, it satifies the current load sensing to say the bulb works.

That helped, much appreciated.

AlfaOBD can do the configuration change to tell the BCM that LED are installed in the Tail, Brake, license plate lights.

As mentioned CANBUS rated bulb should fix it !
Or you can add resistors
