Check VSC after installing LED rear lights

[madasahatter]

You will have to fit resistors.

Answering or adding to my question.  For V1 HCmotion Tail lights 

In addition. HCmotion sent me this . I asked for a schematic of where to plug the resistors and this is what they sent me for the V1 tails lights correction

Update. My VSC appears and disappears after a couple of days. I just installed the 6ohms 50W resistor. Let's see what happen. For now the hyperflashing stopped. But the front turning signals are still not working. I will swap the bulbs tomorrow. Let's hope for the best. I will keep you updated....

These headlights are a nightmare. When replacing the turning lights the right side is way easier than the left side. Either side you will have to lift the car, remove the massive underbody plastic cover and a few bolts from the front wing/fender cover. Because the turning lights are under the headlights. But good luck with the left side. Because there is the water reservoir on the way, so you will have to remove half of the front bumper to reach it. To fit the new bulb on the left side is another challenge that took me a hour to find the grooves to insert it🤷🏽‍♂️😆🤣 I also replaced the turning relay with a LED adjustable one. It was like 20 minutes job 🙌

 

I didn't take many photos as you can find most of this info on the YouTube. Also they never showed the left side... which is the hardest...

I will keep you updated with the VSC lights... for now I have to wait it disappear after a few driving cycles... next step will be to swap the MF sensor and then the O2 sensor as the last part. I started from the simplest and cheapest options. Then we keep going until the problem is solved 😆🤣

Hey man I have an 08 is250 and bought v1 hc motions and I’m having the same problem you were having with the check vsc light coming on. I bought the resistors, which color wires did you plug the resistors into? Also did you only plug in the resistor to the outer part of the tails or also the inner part that is attached to the trunk?

 

[is250_sage]

Yeah, right after the plug. Exactly as on the picture. One wire of the Resistor on the yellow, the other wire of the resistor on the black. That is if. If your hyper flashing still persists, you will need a adjustable signal light relay for Toyota, this delay is located under the steering wheel. If VSC doesn't disappear in 7 days then the next options are the PCV valve and vacuum lines. Then wait another week and if it doesn't disappear, then scan the car with a OBD2. Then possibly changed O2 sensors and MF sensor. Lastly will be the ABS sensors. But if you wanna void all the hassle and have the $$$, then take to a mechanic and ask for warranty, and if problem is not fixed, then they can install the next parts free of charge (charging only for the parts). You can find my project on I G IS250_Sage

 

My warning light is back, so I will do the vacuum lines and O2 sensors next. Then scan the car.

Hey man just gave you a follow on ig. Yeah never had flashing just the vsc and brake light. When I installed my resistors my buddy told me to wire one to red and one to black and it went away for around 10 minutes then came back on. I scanned it and it was still coming up with code C1249, after some research one of the causes for the light is the brake light switch, I replaced that and it’s still on so I might the disconnecting the red cord and switching it with the yellow one and hopefully that’ll fix it.

Can't understand how I've missed this thread. But. As the saying goes. Buy cheap and the headaches start.

As mentioned above vland lights yes expensive But they're plug n play and No issues.

Yes taking the headlights out on the is250 is a sod but only should take 20 mins tops.
