In the process of upgrading the bulbs in my headlamps to match my Denalis, and was wondering if anyone switched over to LEDs (2825 or 194) and did not get any "bulb-out" warnings on the dash without adding any other things like "load equalizers" or resistors, etc.
Don't particularly want to go through a whole bunch of bulbs to find the one that works without generating a code.

Been running these since May of this year. No codes. Perfect match to my LED main bulbs. They're available on Amazon (like most everything, lol)
Boom! And just like that it is ordered from Amazon and for only $8 (
link). Thanks Dave!
Actually I almost pulled the trigger on that after getting the code on the Auxito bulbs. The think that I am slightly concerned about is the side LEDs being on two sides of a flat "blade" and with the holder going in at about 45 degrees, the reflector pattern could be affected.
At least now I will have the halogen Silverstar bulbs and these.

UPDATE - The Lasfit LEDs did not work for me. Maybe there is enough difference between Dave's RS and mine to cause mine to show a "defective bulb" code. I do have a Denali CANSmart Controller with 3 of the 4 circuits used, plus I have [likely] different LED headlamps which probably also may do something different to the CAN-BUS waveform. Oh, and I also have the Dynamic Motorrad LED indicators.
I sent emails to both Audito and Lasfit to see if they have any ideas before I return the bulbs. Shame since they are very nice when lit up.

Interesting. I have the same turn signal bulbs and 1 circuit (Denali D2's) used on my CanSmart, but also have Techmax LED main bulbs.

Hmmm ... could be. I note that all the Techmax bulbs have the fan on the back which means that they need the rubber dust cap etc. right? The H7 bulb I have has a small fan ahead of the flange so that the bulb looks pretty much like a conventional bulb. Will check out your setup next year in Tennessee.
