Hoping to get some input from our electrical and lighting-savvy riders. I have converted and re-wired the stock H7 halogen headlight setup (only one lamp on at a time—either the high beam side or the low beam side) to an H4 LED configuration where both lamps are on as low beam or high beam. Each LED draws 23-24w, so together they must draw about 46-48w. That’s 9-7w less than the single halogen 55 watts the CANBUS expects to find on the circuit, so I’m getting a LAMP! error on the LCD display. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the result. My question: what is the best way to trick the system? Should I add resistors? If so, how many ohms for this particular application? Not sure if off-the-shelf automotive resistors are suitable here. Or would it be better to install CANBUS decoders? For those, I don’t see watt or ohm specs. Are they adaptable to various circuit loads? Thanks!
