Flashcal and dealer flash

[DeezJT]

So my led fog lights doesn’t seem to work. (Turns on and immediately turns off). I have checked connections multiple times.

Flashcal does not have a fog light led calibration.

Can I go to the dealer and have them calibrate the fog light without changing any flashcal settings?

Tazer had led light settings and controls.

Doesn't the Flashcal allow for changing fog lights from incandescent to LED? I'm having the same issue since changing bumpers and swapping the factory fog lights for a lightbar in the bumper. My understanding is that changing the setting for the lights to LED will fix that issue.

@Squidly the reason I purchased the Flashcal was it did led and tire size calibrations which is all that I needed. Flashcal dropped the ball as it has tail lights, headlights, and turn/side marker leds but not fogs. I even tried emailing/calling them numerous times and couldn’t get any help.

So my options are to either sell the flashcal and buy tazer mini, have the dealer program led fogs along with flashcal, or reroute to aux (pending purchase).

I really don’t want to use it as an aux switch for the fogs as it defeats the purpose of having the fog light oem switch.

Oh wow, I could have sworn I read that it'll do the fog lights too ... Guess I'm not going that route either.

Found a solution this morning, and tested it to work perfectly ... Add a load balance resistor (pictured) in the power wire leading to the LED's. I'm now using the fog light switch to control the lightbar in my bumper

@Squidly can u send me a link. I’ll purchase today and install next weekend. My oem harness and pigtails came in but I’ll just splice the resistors on my current wiring to see if it works.

I had it sitting in my tool box, don't remember where I got them, but Amazon has them, just look up LED load balance resistor

@Squidly i bought a plug n play resistor to connect to the fog lights and that did the trick. Fog lights stayed on for more than a minute while testing and didn’t even shut off. Thanks for your help.

Would you happen to have a link for these? Sad to see you sold the rig it looks great!

@vasilisk89 hi. If memory serves me correctly, I reattached the oem harness to the jws fog lights then used a fog light extension similar to this. https://www.extremeterrain.com/barr...-fog-light-extension-harness-pair-jg1726.html
