Question LED Turn signals Reprogram to avoid hyper flash

I've read in another thread that the 2016's can be reprogrammed at the dealer to allow LED lights to be used in the brakes and turn signals (blinkers). I tried adding LED brakes to mine and they hyper flashed. I have no interest in adding resistors!

My question is, do I have to replace, front signals, mirror signals and brake lights when I get this done at the dealer? Or will the regular bulbs still work?

Thanks
Matt

You need to re-program the BCM to cure the hyper flash. The BCM thinks the bulbs are burnt out when you install LEDs. Regular bulbs will still work.

You can either get the dealer to do ti or yo ucan get an OBDII adapter to use bluetooth/wifi/usb on a laptop loaded with FORScan.

Check the BCM section here to get the values to change with FORScan.

Or go to the dealer and have them do this with the VCM2 and IDS...
