Can aftermarket LED bulbs harm your car's electrical system?

  1. See if decoding is required
    Decoding can have an impact on automotive circuits.
    If the car needs to be decoded, the instrument panel headlight fault indicator will be on, the headlights will not be on, and the headlights will flash. To solve these problems, you need to install a decoder.led headlight decoding
    Now POFLEX has developed LED headlights for special cars, which solve the decoding problem in a targeted manner.
    The working principle of the decoder: the power of the original car halogen bulb is generally 55W, while the power of the LED headlight is only about 30W. Since the power is reduced and the current is reduced, the trip computer detects that the current is different from the original current, and judges that the headlights are faulty, so the "alarm indicator light" on the dashboard lights up. Therefore, in order to solve the alarm problem of the fault indicator, it is necessary to install a "decoder" and increase the resistance. The power and current are correspondingly increased to the same extent as before, and the on-board computer will not give an alarm.

2, see if there is no damage to the installation
Non-destructive installation has no effect on the original car circuit, and does not need to modify the circuit.
All POFLEX bulbs are plug and play.
In addition, the dust cover must be tightly sealed, otherwise water or fogging of the headlight assembly may occur.
In order to make automotive LED headlights small enough, it is necessary to improve the light source and lamp body structure, heat dissipation method, material, etc., so as to maintain good light shape and stable performance even when the lamp body is highly concentrated and short.

3. Look at the power consumption
If a car light consumes a lot of power and the current is large, the pressure on the battery will be large, the whole circuit will heat up, and the insurance may even be burned. Therefore, car lights are used to illuminate the road, and high power must not be blindly pursued.
Now the mainstream LED headlights are generally about 30W, and the power is only 60% of the original car halogen bulb (55W), but the brightness is more than 4 times that of the original car halogen bulb.

4. the temperature
Because of the small power and current of LED headlights, the heat generation is small and the temperature is low, so it will not have any adverse effects on the original car circuit.
