Hi, I must start off by saying I am not an EE I have a very basic understanding of electronics so please forgive me if I sound like a complete idiot, but I am out of ideas on how to solve my problem.
I am trying to retrofit a car with LED turn signal assemblies into a car that originally had incandescent bulbs. The car has a bulb monitoring system to detected when a bulb is out. This system sends out a very short burst of power (maybe about 10 -15 ms?) about every 30 seconds when the turn signal is not in use. This short burst of power causes the LED's to light for a split second when not in use.
The LED's have a resistor in series with them that stops any bulb out warnings from occurring, but this flash is still present. I have been messing around with capacitors in series and parallel to try and solve this, but they only made the problem more apparent. Looking for any suggestions on what to try.
