Load Resistor 50W 6ohm for 21w loads (suits Canbus sensitive systems)

$16.50 each inc GST

Load Resistor 10 Ohm 6Ω for 50 watt automotive LED indicator and brake bulbs on Canbus Sensitive Systems. Used where a simulated load is required to trigger traditional mechanical flashers.

In stock (can be backordered)

Description

This 6 ohm (Ω) 50W Load Resistor is designed to fix hyper-flashing and burnt-out bulb warnings when replacing standard 21W indicator bulbs with LED bulbs.

The lower resistance provides a stronger electrical load, helping vehicles with more sensitive CANBUS or bulb-failure detection systems recognise the LED as a normal globe.

  • One load resistor is required per 21W load.
  • Quick wire clips included.
  • Aluminium body for heat dissipation.
  • Straight positive/negative connection for BA15S, 3156 and 7440 bulbs.
  • These resistors can be used on 12V or 24V systems.

INSTALLATIONS NOTES:

  • View our installation diagram here.
  • Watch this You Tube video for installation instructions
  • The resistor must be connected in parallel across the positive and negative wires of the indicator bulb (not in series)
  • If buying to stop hyper-flashing in indicators:  one resistor per side of the car is suffient, not one per bub (two resistors per car). You do not need 4 resistors for one vehicle
  • For BAY15D, 3157 and 7443 brake lights, make sure your positive connection is on the 21W brake circuit and not the 5W tail light circuit.

⚠ WARNING: This resistor produces significant heat during operation

  • The aluminium body acts as a heat sink and should be mounted to metal surface where posible and kept away from plastic components or wiring insulation.
  • These resistors are designed for intermittent circuits such as indicators, not for lights that remain on continuously.
