Oh! :scared: Don't really wanna do that! Anyone know if VAGCOM can turn off the 'Bulb out' feature?

Thats an interesting thought! Although this topic has been covered before, and nothing VCDS related has ever been mentioned, so I wouldn't get your hopes up :sad: :sad: :sad:
Shame, because the light emitted from an LED is uber cool!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

It sure is, and even more annoying is they work for a few seconds then go off again! :fighting:
WhiteGTI:
Yeah very annoying! I remember when i was replacing my rear numberplate bulbs with the LED's. I replaced one, and it worked so I was really chuffed!! Then when i put the other one in, they just turned off almost immediately! Little did I know that 1 normal bulb with 1 LED draws enough current for the car to think that both are working!
billyboy:
Ive read somewhere that if you wire in another set (IE, your standard bulb) and either cover them in tape or tuck them away, then put the LEDs in,
then the current still passes through and doesnt throw up the 'bulb out'
