Led headlights

[clip]

Can't understand how a dealer can deny that configuration option though???

The anti-flicker units cost $25 from Stedi with free postage. They are plug and play. Just buy some and it's done.

Each to their own I guess.

The Anti flicker harness is basically a large electrolytic cap between earth and +ve on the headlight cables.

There are theoretical disadvantages...the capacitor can induce a delay in headlight switching, if it fails it will fail short and your headlight fuses will blow at a minimum until the anti flicker harness is removed..

I can make my own harness modification for about $10 with parts from JayCar.

I prefer the idea of doing it the "official" way and telling the TIPM to output a steady 12V rather than a PWM signal.

Plus I've got enough cables and adapter in the engine bay with all the accessories, I don't need any more if I can avoid it haha

Software arrived and loads fine. My OBD scanners are cheap clones and don't work properly with all the required commands. (they are fine using torque, and DTC clearing software), so waiting on a genuine ELM327 adapter before I carry on

This is interesting, be great to see what you can do with it. Quite honestly I’ve yet to meet a dealer that knows as much as I do about any vehicle I’ve owned so no surprises they are clueless.

I have to agree, I can’t understand why dealers or service depts. don’t put a staff member on forums about their products. I’ve owned Range and Land Rovers in the past and honestly, I got sick and tired of having to tell my dealer service dept. exactly what the problem was, and how to fix it - all knowledge that I had gained through forums such as this.

Sorry for the delay....I was waiting for a new OBD scanner that was fully compliant....well it arrived today!

Connected no issue.


The software has SO many config options and the DTC's are so in-depth as well.

I've now got no flicker at all with no harness adapters......I've also set it so when I full beam, low beam also says on for even more brightness (only for LED use, normal bulbs will make to much heat).

Flicking the light on now has zero delay as well Much better than the factory setup.

I've also disabled my seat belt warning alarm for when I off-road..

I've only just scratched the surface of what the app can do, but I can confirm it works great.

Very happy

Wow. That’s impressive. So you set it for bixenon, no LED option?
Can I borrow it?
