4000 lumen LED lights for the hi beam

i tried to switch out my rear brake/turn signal lights on a 2010 jeep for brighter LEDs. the computer didnt like the different current draw so threw errors (blinkers went super fast, normally an indication a turn signal bulb died.. the LED didnt draw enough to convince the computer it was working apparently). wtf try to install better than original parts and the computer says "nope"

also heard putting HID (think thats it) headlights on a lot of computerized vehicles causes problems too. wrong current draw.

love my 2000 XJ, i can fix/upgrade most anything and all it does is keep running.

Resistance is not futile. It is cheap and effective Wink

It is indeed, but for some reason it's not always enough to fool a canbus system, they do something else too, don't know what.

I hate new cars. I've regressed to 1990 again after creeping briefly into the 2000's, and watching for good restoration candidates even older. Too much garbage electronics and not enough robust margin of durability these days. Disposable cars that are unlikely to outlast the payments people take on for them. I've come close to buying a brand new truck several times in recent years, and always glad that I backed away and found another beater.

Did I mention the Volvo I'm giving all that love is a -92.
