Disco Disco?
« on: January 10, 2019, 02:12:42 pm »
Bought some 'Error free' LED lights on eBay and they've started to flicker.

It's like a sh*t disco. Is there a fix at all?

Are these interior lights? I found that there is a right way and wrong way in installing them. May be worth taking out and turning them around.

Hey there

Yeah - they don't work at all if not in the right way round...

Which ones are flickering? I always get a flicker on the footwell ones but the rest are spot on. I've had a quick trawl of my ebay history but they don't seem to be there so I can't help you with the seller of the ones I got. Sorry.

They flicker few seconds because of the car running cold diagnostics when you turn the key.
Either get proper canbus error free ones or you can turn footwell lights diagnostic off on VCDS.

Not sure if mine are 'proper' canbus error free, but they were advertised as so.

Don't fancy buying 20 sets.

So I turned off cold diagnostics with VCDS.
