Ahh. ic..

Well, if you do the eyebrow mod, definitely try amber... I didn't see any of those LED bulbs at radioshack though. You can probably order the LED's online somewhere.

What resistor value have you used. If you get an error for a moment it means its too high.

Well, i got the ones that came with the LED's... Come to think of it, they are larger than the ones Nixdoof used... How do I find out which would be best?

I I think it is an LCI thing...
It is an LCI thing, specifically the LM2 - which is way more sensitive than the pre LCI module. I had LED front turn signals back when nigxdoof had first installed his, no probs, but when I did my LCI front and rear lights retrofit I started getting an error momentarily as well - this was unacceptable for me so they're out for now until I get around buying a new set of resistors. FYI, the side led indicator does not throw an error.

Bruce is on the right track regarding the value...I'm sure with experimenting the right resistor will work

Darn LCI's.. That's a shame.. no LED turn signals... I think you should just give me the headlights and LCI cables, and i'll give you my headlights so you won't get an error message anymore.
