Title: Xenon Bulbs - Light on dash??
Post by: jaylufc17 on November 12, 2017, 06:39:40 pm

Installed my xenons today and have had this coded through vagcom.

All 6 bulbs (including indicators) work yet the light bulb sign is coming on the dash... confused :thinking:

When starting the car up, it does not come up on the highline MFD to say a bulb is blown yet the light is on the dash

Few people have mentioned could be due to LED D2S Bulbs being in there?? anyone had the same issue?

Was it coded as Xenons without shutters installed

I had that issue on someone's car and it ended up being because of that. Code it as Xenons without shutters, see if that gets rid

Yeah most likely the coding for the shutters. If you' don't have vcds, one of those OBD fault readers for your phone will tell you exactly what is causing it. It did for me anyway.

Seems to have worked guys got the guy to change it thanks!

Do you think it could be because the yellow wires have not been put into the ccm module?
