Hi, A friend moved my trailer for me the other day, he said we cannot plug the lights in as he has all LED lights and he says the trailer lights will all go cranky! I have heard about the indicator issue with standard set up and LED trailer lights but as this is the other way around I wondered if anyone else had seen this before? Didn't try it as we were in a hurry and only a short journey to make.

The leds work with a pulse so bybass relay is needed to run a constant 12v or a led trailer board

That’s for the other way round isn’t it ? Can bus light system on the car and led trailer board.

But you want led car system to standard trailer board don’t you?
