led footwell bulbs?

(1/1)

ukshaun:
just wanting to put some led footwell bulbs in my golf, i got one in and its working fine went to put the other side in and it doesnt work even if you turn the bulb around. im pritty sure its a canbus fault as its not drawing enough current.

is there a way around this? or do i need to get resistors or canbus bulbs

I'm sure you need canbus bulbs for the footwell lights, I bought the canbus bulbs and they work fine.
