Interesting info about ABS shutting down. Cheers.

I'm starting to think these replacement LEDS are a bit more trouble than they're worth...bring on the consumer garauntees act!

I would think that it'll just be annoying. Any you will fail WOF as the guy will think the ABS is broken...


As for bulbs...

The clustered LEDs are okay... But the luxeon 3W version is MUCH MUCH better... Unfortunately US$20 a piece. But they are marginally brighter than a standard bulb, and have much better light spread compared to the clusters...
I've got a "twin filament" park/stop one in my car. And it looks better than the standard bulbs. Just saving up to replace all the remaining bulbs.

I don't claim to know everything... That doesn't mean it isn't true....

I seriously doubt a car manufacturer would be stupid enough to let an abs system be affected by the resistance of a lightbulb. Let's see, I've blown a tail light so I'll turn abs off? Whatever.

Does the ABS light come on when you have no bulb connected?
