Replacing Halogen Foglight with LED Bulb! NO Flicker?
Has anyone replaced their Halogen Fog-light Bulbs with LED Bulbs, and experienced no flicker after proper coding??
Don't want to have to use load resistors (get too hot). I have some JDM 8th Generation LED bulbs with LED Drivers, but they still flicker when OFF.

just did this, coding done, zero issues. also changed fog lights to led and high beam to 55 watt hids, no issues on any bulbs... Steve Ma in Toronto did the codding, awesome guy.

Sounds great, what Fog Light LED bulbs did you use? and he didn't install any load resistors?

The JDM 8th Generation right? Ok, this is good news, maybe I have mine coded wrong? Which specific codes did you use? and you didn't have to add resistors right? I would love to get this flickering to stop. I hope it's not anything to do with how they code the 4 series?

Yeah I coded out the warm and cold checks for the bulbs, and set them to LED. Even tried changing the PWM voltage to 100%, but no luck? Would you happen to have the email address for the person that coded them for you, maybe I could just ask him quick question?

Mine are in the foglight position, i think the fogs receive some current on their bus even when warm and cold check are coded off. At least thats what it seems like in my case? Unless there is another set of cold checks i need to turnoff?

Hey there thanks for responding. I will check that out. Were you using them as foglights? Also, were yours the led bulbs only, or did it have an led driver (dongle - little box) attached?
