i hav just replaced my sidelights but the wattage is too low or something so the dash still says parkings lights defective, they come on for about 5 seconds and turn off. is there a way around this or do i have to get some standard ones back on?
-
Is this a Mk4 or a Mk5 related question? :undecided:
-
yeah still havent changed my pic lol
-
So you have got a Mk5 ??
And you replaced the sidelamps - what with? Some LEDs?
-
yeah a gt tdi, i put a hid kit on there but the yellow inner pods looked rediculous so i bought some white sidelights but they dont stay on for long
-
yeah a gt tdi,
Ahh, OK. You might wanna update your sig then! :tongue:
i put a hid kit
Eeek. Bad, bad idea. You do know these are illegal, doncha? :wink:

But are the new sidelights the same as the old ones? ie, are the new ones a normal tungsten filament bulb but with a blue coating on the glass - or are they actually LEDs? If they are LEDs, then you will need to either wire in a resisitor to the correct value, or disable the 'cold' bulb test with VAG-COM.

yeah but it's a 2 minute job to switch back for the mot. they are led's i think, i'll have to get filament ones instead then :undecided:
