    Interior LED Problem

    I have had this problem since I put these LEDs in my truck after I bought it in June. It's really annoying me. Please watch the video below. Thanks

    Re: Interior LED Problem

    Our trucks have the CANbus system which is very sensitive. I don’t know what kind of LED’s you purchased but you can get LED’s that have the CANbus ( I guess you could say override) built into the base. The LED draws such little amperage the “override” tricks the computer into thinking there is a regular halogen bulb is still in it.
    I’m no expert when it comes to this stuff but I have LED’s in my cargo and third brake lights and the first time I installed non CANbus LED’s I ran into this problem. I can’t tell you how the interior light LED would do since my truck came from the factory with LED interior lights.

    Re: Interior LED Problem

    CanBus lights are to stop them from flickering from what I've read. From what @TITAN was saying in his video, I don't believe this is the problem he's concern with.

    Have you pulled the LEDs and reinserted the stock light again and tried to see if it works normally yet ? This would let you know it is only the type of lights.
    If so, then I'd say spend the money for some canbus lights and try it.
    But I'd check locally for one light first, it could get expensive swapping them all out and finding this isn't the issue.
