I've disconnected my 3rd boot light and don't want it. Now I have a blown bulb indicator on my dash. What can I do in terms of wiring something in to fool the car thinking there is a light there?
Pls don't say remove the dash bulb. Thanks This post has been edited by yellowchinaman: Jan 4, 2012 - 11:54 AM |

my guess would be to read the impedance of the regular bulb, then one with the LED, then subtract the LED amount from the regular bulb, and get a resister at whatever amount that would be so that it would be the stock amount of resistance.
**edit, to get back on track. you could just leave the bulb plugged in inside the hatch, since it will be covered and you won't see it This post has been edited by mkernz22: Jan 4, 2012 - 11:46 PM |
