Test the flasher unit, I don't think it can handle the pressure.

Re: Indicator Globes conversion to LED


Are they series resistors or parallel resistors ?
Usually flasher units work off current and if series reistors then the current will still be small for the LEDs and the flasher will sense the lower current and hyperflash think a bulb is blown.

Measure the current with a standard globe and then with the LED+resitor unit to compare if there is much difference.

Re: Indicator Globes conversion to LED


Parallel they go across the 2 wires going to the lamp, and basically simulate the tungsten filament of a lamp!

Because they are flashing on/off, I'm not sure my DMM will handle it, or be able to respond quick enough to get an accurate current reading !

Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Re: Indicator Globes conversion to LED


So far this exercise has resulted in NO upgrades to the Exy.

The combination Body Control Unit (BCU) and Independent Power Control Module (IPDM) tied together by the CAN Bus, have defeated me.

I believe that these modules actually monitor the current flowing through the indicator/flasher circuit, and that is why I can't get it to work properly!

Replacing lamps (any lamps) with LEDs is not as good idea, as first seemed. Cree LEDs are very bright, BUT, very narrow spread of light means they are not as easily seen from the side! So I think the original tungsten filament globes are better.

Cree LEDs will ideal for my Exy as Reverse Lights.. narrow beam + I have a reverse CAM.

So until I find out more info about the BCU/IPDM this exercise is suspended ! emoticon

Replacing the parker globes with LED is still fine and doesn't give any errors.

Re: Indicator Globes conversion to LED


Maybe when every light in the circuit is replaced with led's one of the control systems detects an abnormal voltage/current flow and has a shitfit so if only some are changed all is good. Which brings up the question of reverse lights, what happens if they a replaced with led,s for more light ? Or is the problem jusst with the cree type ?

As I said previously, I have replaced the parkers, fog lights, reverse lights and all internal roof lights to LED without any problems.

Phil,

When you say the lights aren't bright from the side are you using the 3D globes?

No Max,

Sorry a bit ignorant about "3D" globes... these are Crees with extreme brightness out of the end, but little or none out the sides...

Give me a heads-up, as to what and where I should be looking for better LED globes.. emoticon

hey phil a 3d globe has LED's on multiple sides like this:

that way you get shine out the back and the sides. i don't know if cree make these tho. it would fix your brightness problem but not the hyper flashing one
