The present invention relates to a pulse shunt that allows for the use of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in vehicles that have a pulsed lamp check function in their external lighting system and/or trailers connected thereto. The present invention shunts the short lamp check voltage pulses, which stops the LEDs, when they are not otherwise illuminated, from flashing even when the ignition has been switched off the pulse shunt can remain active until after the lamp check pulses cease. The present invention allows the lamp check unit of the vehicle to measure a low resistance on the monitored external lighting circuits, where LEDs are fitted, so that 'lamp failures' will not be indicated and when a trailer is connected it will be recognised. The present invention may be located on/in a vehicle or trailer or in the wiring between and have either automatic or manual activation.
