Incandescent brake bulbs installed with LED brake light coding?

ikehigh05 · 04-10-2017, 11:56 PM

So I had coded and installed LEDs for my rear turn signals and brake lights. One of the LEDs for the brake lights went bad(cheap). So I reinstalled the stock, clear incandescent bulbs in the brake light sockets. Everything seems to work as it should, but I do realize that I still have LED coding, and coding to disable the warm/cold checks enabled for the brake light function.

Besides not being alerted via idrive/dash that a bulb may be out, is there any concerns I should have regarding regular bulbs installed with LED coding??

No, that's no problem if you only changed the cold/warm check and no voltage settings.
