Kits should be a direct plug n play but high level brake lamps are not and I
have designed a simple circuit that will fool the onboard computer to stop
flashing the LED brahe lamps every 5 seconds.

Can anyone advise me if fitting after market LED bulbs in indicators,
side adn brake lights confuse the onboard computer?
I prefer the more responsive light they offer but don't want the car
dinging me about dead bulbs!

Thanks
