The LED Autolamps LR12/2 is a 12V 50W load resistor that draws the same current as a 21W globe, preventing dashboard errors caused by LED globe installations. Aluminium base. Must be mounted to a metal surface. 45mm mounting centres. IP67. 12V only. Five-year warranty. Sold as a pack of 2.
Important: The LR12/2 must be mounted to a metal surface for heat dissipation. Do not mount to plastic or non-conductive materials.
The LR12/2 is a pair of load resistors designed to prevent dashboard error messages and indicator hyper-flash caused by the lower current draw of LED globes compared to standard halogen globes. Each resistor draws the equivalent current of a 21W globe, making the vehicle's electrical system read the LED installation as a conventional globe. The aluminium base requires mounting to a metal surface for thermal dissipation of the 50W dummy load. 12V only. IP67 rated. 45mm mounting centres. Sold as a pack of 2 for a complete left and right indicator installation.
Prevents dashboard errors: Resolves error messages caused by LED globe low current draw.
Draws same current as 21W globe: Emulates the electrical load of a standard indicator globe.

Why do I need a load resistor with LED globes?
LED globes draw significantly less current than the halogen globes they replace. The vehicle's indicator circuit reads this low draw as a globe failure, causing dashboard error messages or indicator hyper-flash. The LR12/2 adds a dummy load that matches the current draw of a 21W halogen globe, resolving these issues.
Why must the LR12/2 be mounted to a metal surface?
The LR12/2 generates heat as a 50W dummy load. The aluminium base dissipates this heat into the metal mounting surface. Mounting to plastic or non-conductive materials can cause overheating and damage.
How many resistors are included in the LR12/2 pack?
The LR12/2 is a pack of 2 resistors, providing one per indicator for a complete left and right installation.
What voltage does the LR12/2 operate on?
The LR12/2 operates on 12V only. It is not suitable for 24V systems.
Is the LR12/2 waterproof?
Yes. The LR12/2 has an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully dust-tight and can withstand submersion in up to 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes.
