Taillight out light issue
Hi everyone, i just replaced my old faded trunk lights with these -http://www.carparts.com/details/Lexus/GS300/Spyder/Tail_Light/1999/ALT-YD-LGS98-TR-LED-RC.html spyder trunk lights, however after i installed them now the tail light out light in my dash is on. Is it possible to bypass this light at all? or is it stuck on now? thank you in advance.

That's the only way I've seen to permanently get rid of it. The only other way to bypass it is to use the resistor packs that usually come with LED tail lights. You could always just pull the bulb out of the cluster.

Because it's voltage based. The LED lights have a much lower energy consumption, that's why the computer thinks there is a bulb out. As long as there are LEDs in the circuit, the ecu will see that the circuit isn't using as much voltage as it is supposed to and trigger the light.

i was in a rush yesterday but quickly plugged in what i thought were resistors that came with lights to them, but the light in the dash did not go off. (though my car was running) would i need to restart the car for the light to disappear?
