‘21 Sport with halogen headlights. Got a set of Morimoto LEDs for Christmas that have the harnesses. Do I need to change the setting to led with a Tazer or JScan?

I had to change mine to the LED setting using a Tazer. Mine would blink or cut out every so often until I made the change.

My lights are Diode Dynamics though, could be different, maybe?

I changed my halogen bulbs to LED and didn't change the setting in jscan. Seems to work OK. Is there any advantage to changing the setting.

no. You only need to make the change if they don’t work properly.

I swapped to MP concepts LED headlights. Worked with no JScan, but there was a slight flicker I could see against the garage door. Changed to LED with Jscan and it’s gone.

I swapped my halogen lights with Pro Comp projector LEDs. They worked fine for a day or two. Then all of a sudden the pass. side started cutting out randomly. I thought it was the light and had Pro Comp replace the set under warranty. When i received the replacement i had the same issue and realized I needed to change the setting. I then bought a tazer JL mini and changed the headlight setting to LED. I haven't had an issue since.

I have noticed a bit of flicker every once in a great while. I'll do the JScan update tonight to see if I notice anything

Got a set of Truemods LED for Christmas. they seemed to work without changing to LED setting. That said, I changed the setting anyways with my Tazer.

Inability of the LEDs to melt snow is another story. (See my other recent post)
