LED Lighting WTF?

[Ghosts40]

So I bought all new LED lights for my Gladiator, as everyone knows the halogen setup sucks! all come with the anti flicker unit. The install for me was a pita! Headlights and tail lights were easy, blinker lights were a chore. I bought all on extreme terrain.
9" Rough Country Headlights
RAXIOM tail lights
Quake LED turn signal
Auxbeam fog lights with DTR halo.

So everything works great minus the turn signals, sometimes the bli kers work and sometimes I get the Right, left turn signal out on my dash with the fast blink and the blinkers in front do not work? Can I use J scan and change something to fix this??

Also bought fender vent lights. Came with no instructions at all whatsoever, has both DTR amber lights and blinker and white lights. Only 3 wires, yellow-white and a black wire? I'm not an expert in this and have no clue where to tie these in to? My Auxbeam fogs were plug and play but also ha e 1 white and one blue wire with loop for DTR etc. Yes I've looked on you tube and cod find clear video on these. Any help on the above items would be appreciated!!

i know you can change factory settings to LED's with some of the programers. im unsure of Jscan tho

 

[Ghosts40]

J scan will do it but..... if the leds come with the anti flicker I think this converses the power voltage for you already so I'm not sure what would happen if I change to leds in the vehicle system?

And all of this is why I order factory LED. Money, yes, but for that money, I get the warranty, dealer service, and it just plain works. No risk of frying anything, no hassle.

Seriously, if after-market was worth a dang, why can't people simply set these settings like mine are, and know that they'll work?
They could design the draw to match factory, even with improved luminosity and improved other factors. They could............. but don't............... they don't need to fix it and make it right.
Over and over we see this exact problem or other similar issues.

This is right out of my BCM - any after-market LED lighting should be able to use these settings and work.

Ok, so your saying even with the anti flicker in the harnesses if I change to led settings with jscan they should all work?

The purpose of the transistors (anti-flicker) is because LEDs and halogens have different power draws from the vehicle. If you change the vehicle settings for it to recognize that LED’s are “installed”, then you don’t need the transistors, as the computer will know to manage the load from the lights. If you don’t change those settings, the transistors take the role of managing the power load. You just use one or the other, not both.

Unfortunately when I got my Jeep, the LED package wasn’t available on Sport models. At most you could only get the rear LEDs if you optioned in the Safety Package (with blind spot).

Ok well I used jscan and set the blinkers to led present yes. It seems to have taken care of the issue.

Is there something I don't know about? Is there wiring for them buried somewhere?

I've got the LED package and don't see anything about Fog lights.

It's on an export model, not found in the States.

That's for foreign or export use - they aren't actually present and I'm not sure why they would have that there since they don't exist.
My truck is factors LED package, I did add the Oracle bumper-mount backup lights (LED) that feed from the factory LED backup light harness, but that's it, it's stock as are those settings.
I'm "guessing" there is another setting in there or it's otherwise fooled into thinking they are there when they are not and that's the default setting so they don't have to differentiate otherwise.

There are some other strange settings in there that are weird to see.
