LED's in place of stock Incandescents, Dilemma S70 1998

Hey Gang,

Okay i'm expirencing a dilemma, I recently purchacsed LED cluster lamps in place of the stock incandescent lamps, (brake and turnsignals) thinking it would solve my vibration blub blowing problem and grabbing the drivers attention more behind me while braking and turning. They look really nice and true in color. But....

The stituation is the blub blown sensor is tripping. When I step on the brake and when the parking lights are on. Never the turn signals. Although the turn signals are faster flashing than stock.

LED lamps draw far less current than the stock lamps due that is why the sensor is tripping possibly.

Has any one tried LED cluster lamps before and found a plausable situation around this blown blub sensor?

I obtained a wiring diagram from the dealer and am working on a way of fooling the sensor. but it's a lot of trial and error any one have any idea's?

thanks,
Mo
