Default Added spoiler 3rd light LEDs

On SC300. I just put the spoiler with the LED 3rd light on it and swapped out the Subwoofer speaker cover with the 3rd light to the plain cover. Ithe tail light warning signal is on for obvious reasons. Is there anyway to correct the light issue or do I just have to live with it? I never pulled the cluster before so I would rather not try to just pull the bulb. I really did search. all I found were bulb issues that caused the light to come on.
Regards,
Lloyd


BTW I just got my SC back from TimeMachineRacecraft.com in Oceanside.

The 25G MadDog turbo is Phat! I need to get the S-AFC, FPC tuned but the thing is crazy fast.
Now I just need to put the Brembos on and the HRE wheels.
Just added the spoiler with 3rd light and swapped out the custum interior. The SC is looking insainly sweet. I back now with a (& SC 300 NA-T with 58K miles on it!

Glad to hear you are enjoying the car Lloyd,
this is what you will need to get rid of that light.

Thanks
Niko

thats weird.
here you go

Load resistor

LED bulbs may cause some newer vehicles to indicate a bulb is burnt out (because of their low power consumption). Some cars indicate this by increasing the flash rate of the turn signals, some turn on a bad bulb indicator. This can be remedied with our Load Resistors wired across the turn signal bulbs to simulate a filament bulb load.
This 6 Ohm, 50 Watt resistors can be connected across the turn signal bulbs to simulate the load of a regular filament bulb (2 Amp load). This will solve LED related turn signal problems such as hyper flashing or burnt out bulb indications. This LED Load Resistor can be use with most signal or brake light which uses SINGLE or DUAL FILAMENT LED light bulbs, like the 7443, 1157, 3157, 4157, 1156, 7440, 3156 etc. Resistor measures 1.96L x .64W x .60H inches, leads are 12 inches long. Kit Includes gel filled moisture resistant splice taps.

Good Idea. I will measure the resistance of the old 3rd light and compare that to the LEDs. Then add in a resister to make them match. That should fool the computer.
Thanks Niko
