- 1997 Explorer Eddie Bauer
I replaced all my 1997 Explorer Eddie Bauer lighting with LED lights. Brake, tail, reverse, turn, interior and the headlights are now HID bi-xenon everything but the high mount 3rd brake light and instrument panel/dash is now LED.
Prior to replacing the stock bulbs with these LED's I had no messages or warning about lamps being out but after I replaced the stock lamps with LED I am getting "Check Tail Lamps" "Check Brake Lamps" and "Check Head Lamps" in the message center even though all lamps/lights/bulbs are functioning properly.
Am I getting these messages because LED doesn't draw the same amount of power as the stock bulbs and it's throwing off the computer/system check or do I have a faulty module? Not sure what the process of elimination would be or what to check first to possibly fix this issue.
This isn't a dire issue but it is rather annoying hearing the multiple errors and having the reset them at every startup system check. I am rather fond of LED for the power saving and aesthetic upgrade however I am debating on keeping my HID headlight conversion kit.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
