Many car owners go out to buy all these LEDs bulbs to replace their incandescent bulbs and found out they have all these bulb out warning light all over the dash board. Many LEDs dealers even claim they have built-in can-bus or load to by pass these warning lights. I believe all these are sellers marketing strategy to sell products. If you noticed, all these LEDS bulbs prices are very inexpensive, but the cost of shipping is extremely high, because when people return the bulbs after finding out they don&#8217;t work, the bulbs don&#8217;t cost anything. Please read the Ohm&#8217;s law.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Now, if we take out a 20w incandescent bulb &#8211; resistance across the terminal is about .2-.6 ohm. According to Ohm&#8217;s law, P = VI = I * I*R or we can derive R = (V*V)\/P = 12*12\/20 = 7.2 ohms when the 20w bulb is fully hot and brightest. So, cold = .2 &#8211; .6 ohms and hot = 7.2 ohms (in real life, the car voltage when running could be higher if not well regulated for the lighting system 13V-14V \u00a0then the hot resistance could be higher). Now, go back to Ohm&#8217;s law, when the 20W bulb is hot, the current runs through it will be I = 12V\/7.2 ohms = 1.66A &#8211; that&#8217;s a lot of current through a little bulb.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Bright LED these days will have normal current of 25mA &#8211; 30mA (.025A), so I took out the so claim 10W LED bulb and test them &#8211; maximum current drawn was 300mA = .3A &#8211;&gt; 12V * .3A = 3.6W.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The car system must check the resistance when cold and current drawn when hot &#8211; So, if we put a 6 ohms resistors across the LED to simulate the tungsten when hot, then we will fail the .2-2 ohms cold test from the system. Besides, the 6 ohms will totally burns anything that it touches when 2A+ current is going through it. Well, find a metal of some kind to mount it, but I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll still get the warning light. I designed a circuit to satisfy both cold and hot scenarios and it&#8217;s working.
