direct replacement w no error code? any other tricks to share? believe rickys led mod requires a big resistor to avoid any error code.

I think most new leds are built in resistors now so just plug and play but dont know how long they will last.

The one iq bought uses electronics to convert the voltage but internal resistance will still be different from the original bulb so imagine would still give code unless u stick a big resistor in // to it. And since the big resistor dissipates a lot of heat so it tends to burn out easily

yes, i need to ask AK later to see, and need to find good place for remap after.
