Title: Sidelight LED replacement bulb on 2009 model with Xenons
Post by: GTI2014 on 03 July 2014, 00:03

Hi All,

I'm looking to replace the standard yellow sidelight bulb with a whiter LED bulb - this is on a 2009 model with OEM Bi-Xenons - can anyone recommend a bulb which they have used which doesn't give a dash warning error please?

This is for a 2009 model which uses the Xenon as a DRL and the sidelight that I want to replace is the little "eyebrow" shaped light  :smug: - I have looked through the forum but some of these original recommendations may be outdated for my model, and some links no longer work....

Thanks  :smiley:

Take the bulb out and see what sort it is. I would guess that it is a 501 type. Then by a CAN-Bus friendly set of LED replacements.

Thanks,

The existing bulb is a standard 501 bulb however I would like to replace with a LED version to match the Xenons.  I have seen quite a few LEDs but has anyone installed a particular bulb which doesn't result in a dash warning (I know that you can get a canbus canceller but wondered if anyone knows whether this is needed)  :smiley:
