Ziza sidelight bulbs for Mk5

<< < (2/2)

JPC:
in terms of fitting an LED, i cant see how US or Euro Spec would make a difference!  :confused:

Ditto

Both would just be an LED wires in series with a resistor to fool the car into thinking it's got a bulb (LED's draw very little current)

Stepho:
  I again tried these bulbs and noticed they actually come on for about 10 seconds before the go off again. I think they are registering a fault code due to drawing liitle current. I also contacted ECS tuning in the US and they confirmed they fitted resistors to them however they would not identify what they actually use.

Can anyone help!! :confused:

If all else fails I will have no option but to send them back, be lucky to recover half the cost though. :embarrassed:

JPC:
i think what is happening is the car thinks the bulb is out. The resistors must not be right. The reason they work for a while is the car takes a while to check if any bulbs are out. Then when it realises it cuts the power for obvious safety reasons. Once this happens, you will need to erase the bulb out warning in the car with vag com. My guess is the sidelights are faulty
