Rear End Finished! But Bulb Error Light Up!
« on: 03 February 2011, 13:17 »
Well my LED number plates bulb units arrived today and got them fitted! Look great although will need to see once the darkness sets in tonight.

Getting a bulb out error up though!  :cry: They shouldnt be bringing up any errors as they are fitted with resistors.

Is there anything I can do via VAGCOM to stop the car checking this when starting the engine? I can remember reading about a cold start check and being able to turn it off? Any VAGCOM guru's out there???  :undecided:

Kenny

I've had these on mine for some time now as it was the first upgrade I did !! They do loook sooo much better

Bought them from alltronix but they are now intermittently coming up with a bulb error although the reason I bought this set was that they are supposed to be error free - they have said I can return for checking and swap out  :wink:

Surely they will need coding as they are LEDs? Wonder if the code will work with mine, as I am still getting bulb out error.

I'll dig out the part number, I have no idea if they work out of the box, I'll hazard a guess not  :sad:

I had a similar issue with my HIDS on my old Seat Leon, it seems to be the newer CANBUS wiring systems, even with warning cancellers, they would either go out or the error would come up. As posted, VAG-COM seems to be the only way.
