24 V Load Resistor Pair – LG1498

The LG1498 24 V load resistor pair is designed to eliminate LED indicator and lamp-out warnings on modern 24 V commercial vehicles. Each 50 W resistor simulates the load of a traditional filament bulb, so the vehicle's body control module sees a stable, expected current and the dash stays quiet. The pair is CE approved and built for commercial duty.

The LG1498 is a practical fix for CAN-bus and bulb-out error issues on trucks, buses, agricultural machinery and specialist 24 V vehicles upgrading to LED.

Why Load Resistors Are Needed

LED upgrades draw a fraction of the current of filament bulbs. Modern body control modules expect heavy current draw and interpret low draw as a failed bulb, triggering dash warnings, hyper-flash and failed inspections.

The LG1498 wires in parallel with the LED lamp, restoring the expected current and allowing indicators to flash at the correct rate.

Built for Commercial 24 V Systems

Each 50 W, 24 V resistor is designed for heavy vehicles and machinery running 24 V electrical systems. Once mounted to a metal surface for heat dissipation and wired correctly, the resistors deliver stable operation and long-term reliability.

Supplied as a Pair

The kit is supplied as two matched resistors, ideal for left and right indicator circuits or front and rear lamp positions. This makes the LG1498 a straightforward retrofit kit for typical indicator conversions.

Key Features

Important Fitment Note

Resistors must be mounted to a metal surface for proper heat dissipation. Always wire in parallel with the LED lamp. For best results, install by a competent vehicle electrician.
