Yer i didnt think the RNS was going to be that good but its a defo winner.

I took it for a drive when it got dark and found the rear lights stayed on when i drove but my front ones went out like normal. which oviously lite up the back of the car, Can this be correct in VAG or some computer plug in thing? :ashamed: or have i messed up the wiring lol

Hello mate.

I have a rear view camera with SMD white bulbs in the right side holder, now my number plate looks exactly like your picture here!

Anyhoo, if it's ok, can you let me know the exact bulb you put in and does it have a built in resistor? I bought a supposed CAN-BUS festoon for the left side only for it to trigger the error.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Danishmk5gti - help yourself mate its entertaining watching people reactions in the rear view mirror

SKARD - They have a built in load resistor and they didnt make any errors appear on my dash so they should work fine  :happy2:

I brought them off the bay -

Thanks buddy, I just bought them so we'll see if it works with my camera light (unsure if that has a built-in resistor).

the US grill really suits the front of the car, ties in with the lights nicely!

Looking good with the mods, only one im not sure on is the blue calipers! but they certainly are different from the red!

lovely motor!

Bulbs came this morning, put it in and no bulb out error..yet!  :happy2:

What's even better is the camera has four small SMD's which cover about the same surface area as the SMD's on the festoon, so light output seems fairly even on both sides too.

Cheers mate  :happy2:
There would be alot more mods if money grow on trees but sadly it doesnt  :sad1:
I can see that blue is not everyones liking for calipers but didnt want to go red as gti's have them and i like the colour blue and silver together so blue it was for me lol.
