1st gen LX can't use LEDs
 
Believe it or not, LED tail bulbs prevent the cruise on LXs from working. I use my cruise everyday to work and back. This morning, it wouldn't work. When i got to work I checked the vacuum connection, as well as electrical, all good. Whipped out the Haynes (still the BEST manual in the WORLD), and followed it.
We all know that cruise disengages when the brake is tapped. however, in our cars, it's a little more complicated. the cruise computer measures the voltage/amperage drain of the bulbs. the LEDs i installed use way less power than the regular bulbs do. So, long story short, when the parking lights and/or headlights are on, cruise wont work. it sounds silly, but it is true.
If you have a LX, and live in one of the poles where you have sun 24/7, get LEDs. the rest of us aren't allowed. obviously, DX people don't have this problem. :squint fi
