Led lights fitted bulb on dash vagcom help??
« on: 16 August 2015, 19:32 »
I have fitted led rear lights to my car and it has brought the bulb light on my dash can anyone help me do i need a vagcom? Or could it be done on a snap on computer not really after buying a vagcom just to remove the lights? Cheers

VCDS may help but potentially you will need a new BCM depending on the age of the car.

Body Control Module. In simple terms it's an ECU that controls certain electrical functions.

Your car being a 2010 should support LED rear lights with just some simple VCDS coding to erase the bulb out warning lights. Mine is the same age and works perfectly.

2010 GTI just needs them enabled on VCDS as said. Done this on mine already.

LED registration lamps are a different story though  :angry:

You can disable bulb check entirely on older BCM modules, though not sure if VCDS can do that, VCP can.
