24 Volt Load Resistor Pair - LG1498

24 Volt Load Resistor Pair – LG1498

Upgrading your truck or machine to modern, efficient 24V LED lights can sometimes confuse the vehicle’s onboard computer, leading to false dashboard errors or rapid "hyper-flashing" indicators. This pair of 50-watt 24 volt load resistors provides a straightforward and reliable fix. Engineered for professional use, they restore correct functionality and ensure a clean, error-free installation every time.

Here's the thing about upgrading to LEDs on modern 24V systems. The vehicle’s CAN-bus network is designed to monitor the high power draw of old-fashioned halogen bulbs. When it detects the low power consumption of an efficient LED, it assumes a bulb has failed. That's what triggers the warning light or causes your indicators to flash at double speed. It’s not a fault in the LED; it’s a compatibility challenge.

This is where the LG1498 resistor pair comes in. It’s a simple solution to a common problem. Wired in parallel with the LED bulb circuit, each 50-watt resistor simulates the electrical load of a traditional filament bulb. This small additional current draw is just enough to satisfy the vehicle’s monitoring system, clearing the error codes and restoring the correct indicator flash rate. Simple. Effective.

We've engineered these for the demands of commercial and agricultural vehicles. They are built to handle the job without fuss and are fully CE Approved for use in European vehicles. A quick word of advice from one engineer to another: these resistors work by converting energy into heat, so they will get warm in operation. Always mount them securely to a metal surface, like the vehicle's chassis or bodywork, well away from any plastic trim, wiring, or heat-sensitive components.
