check engine light

i just changed my dash lights today to leds and i was wondering if the difference in volt/amp needed could cause my check engine light to come on? Or is it just a coincidence it came on the first ride i took with them changed?

jump the service connector and find out what code you're getting.

Heres a link on how to do that and what the codes mean.
