12 Volt Lastwiderstand Paar - LG1497

12 Volt Load Resistor Pair – LG1497

This 12 volt load resistor pair is engineered to stop LED indicator warning errors and hyper‑flashing on modern vehicles using CANBUS or bulb-failure monitoring. Each 50 W resistor simulates the load of a traditional filament bulb, so your dash sees the “right” current draw and stays quiet. CE approved for use across European markets.

When you swap standard indicator bulbs for low-current LEDs, the vehicle often thinks a lamp has failed. Fast flash. Dash error. Annoyed driver. These LG1497 50 W resistors are a simple, proven way to restore correct flash rate and remove those false fault codes on 12 V systems.

Each resistor is designed to be wired in parallel with the LED lamp it supports. That way, the control unit still sees a typical filament load, while you keep the reliability and low power draw of LEDs everywhere else. They’re a small component, but they prevent repeat call‑backs, MOT issues, and frustrated phone calls from drivers who “just had LEDs fitted and now the dash is going mad”.

Installation is straightforward for any competent auto electrician. The resistor body will get hot in normal use – that’s its job – so it must be mounted to metal or another heat‑resistant surface, clear of plastics, looms, and trim. Use secure fixings, proper crimp or solder joints, and heatshrink. Once fitted correctly, they sit in the background doing one thing well: keeping the electronics happy.

Because they’re CE approved, these resistors fit neatly into professional workshop standards and fleet maintenance frameworks. They’re suitable for passenger cars, vans, light commercial vehicles, trailers and plant running 12 V indicator circuits, especially where CANBUS systems can be fussy about current draw.

Key Features

• 12 V load resistor pair – designed specifically for 12 volt vehicle electrical systems
• 50 Watt rating – provides a strong, stable load to correct hyper‑flashing and bulb‑out warnings
• Fixed resistance (Ohm) value – tuned to mimic a standard filament indicator bulb load on CANBUS and bulb-check systems
• Eliminates dash errors – prevents false lamp failure warnings when upgrading to LED indicators
• Parallel connection with LED – wired across the lamp circuit so control modules see the expected current draw
• Compact, robust body – engineered to handle repeated thermal cycling in everyday road and workshop conditions
• CE approved – meets European requirements for use in professional automotive and fleet environments
• Supplied as a matched pair – ideal for doing both sides of an axle or both front indicators in one go
• Compatible with LED upgrades – suited to indicators, side repeaters and similar low-load LED replacements on 12 V systems

Ideal Applications

• LED indicator upgrades on cars, vans and 4x4s with CANBUS bulb monitoring
• Light commercial fleets where hyper‑flashing after LED retrofits must be resolved quickly and reliably
• Trailers and caravans running 12 V LED indicator lamps that trigger tow‑vehicle bulb warnings
• Agricultural and construction equipment with 12 V systems needing stable indicator flash rate after LED conversions
• Auto electrical workshops performing regular LED conversions and wanting a consistent, CE approved solution
