Title: led footwell bulbs?
Post by: ukshaun on September 24, 2011, 08:01:29 pm
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.

you definatly need canbus mate the mk5s are on one big loop , only takes one bulb to throw up loads of problems :( canbus it is ( you normally find canbus are alot better quality anyway dude )
