LED number plate lights

[Mattyj]

No thought they did gutted :-(

Bought some in line resistor harnesses but they aren't great need to adapt the loom so the lights stay sealed properly and ideas???

Aye matty I have LED lights in my number plate. I've tried using vagcom to code them out but didn't really work. May get a set of those resistors too

They are only like £4 but i don't want to cut into the vw loom want to get some gen plugs and adapt the harness to effectively plug an play

You could buy the oem ones fitted to later cars and fit reaistors too them to stop the errors

As my car now has rear LED's with the errors coded out, will OEM LED number plate lights just plug and play?

Sadly not. Even turning the check off on vagcom for the numberplate lights still causes an error eventually. Only fitting the later control unit with the later software for the led numberplate lights fixes it. Or of cause fitting resistors to fool it. The sad thing is the oem one work on the mk5s without causing an error!...

If you manage to patch the MK6 OEM lights, this is what they will look like (on a MK5)

I was just going to put led bulbs in with an inline resistor mod harness
