Are you talking about the LED lights that replace the reflectors in the rear bumper? If so, where did you take your feed from?

Not sure how traction control light could be affected?! Not something I've heard of before?

yes the bumper reflectors. They are wired to the rear lights that light up when i press the break. im going in to the place that did it today to see if they can fix it.

I think the system is far more sensitive than you think. Leave the lighting mods for the Hondas. Google LED mods for LS460. Look at the BS that pops up there and I think you will quickly realize this mod isnt worth it . Just my 2 cents. Google it and see

Well, all that you should have tapped into is one rear tail light..you'll have brake functionality as well (LEDs light up at max output with braking).



That's wired from the brake light straight to the reflectors. I don't see how your installer messed up.

I did my rear bumper LED's to go on with the park & brake lights. Very simple. 2 taps and ground. The traction issue could be coincidental.

Just did this LED bumper reflector as well. If your traction light is coming on, your wires are probably mixed up and not tapped correctly. You will know when your 3rd top brake light is constantly on. I had this problem and was blinding everyone behind me
