Day Time Running Lights (Error Code)
Just added LED lights for the backup lights, cargo area, and Daytime Running Lights. Looks sweet but I hate that I get an error message with the DRL. I’ve erased the code twice but it keeps coming back. I wish I get to stay off permanently. Does anyone now how to stop the error code? They are Vieysled 50W 9005 HB3 LED bulbs.

Do you have load resistors for each LED? If not then you need them.

Yes should be fine. One note is that the resistor itself can get hot so be careful where its placed.

Thanks Robpp. I got the parts for my ZDX and TL Type S. When I get a warm day outside I will install it. It seems very straight forward.
