So I am going to install led bulbs. I purchased can bus type leds. So my question is do I need anything else to avoid hyper flashing or bcm errors. Do the brakes and tail light need resistors.

Hi, if they are Canbus certified then they should work error free.

I have LED head, reversing and brake lights and no errors.

Any BCM changes will still give hyper flash on LEDs that do not have enough resistance. I have tried all programming changes to override and it made no difference.

My low beam headlights flash intermittently just once about every 20 seconds when car is off and locked
Any suggestions

Has to be an LED light issue, more so a driver issue. I have never experienced this with my Lightforce LEDs.
