led sidelights
« on: May 05, 2011, 06:56:58 pm »
hi guys i bought these led sidelights http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120708080990&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

got them today just fitted them and they work :) for about 10 secs then the passenger side one goes off :(

ive tried swapping the  bulbs around to see if its the bulb but still the passenger side one goes off after a few seconds!

is this because the car thinks the bulb has blown due it using so little power??

even tho on ebay they state the get around that!!

thanks

Yeah sounds like the bulb out feature on the car. Because of their low wattage they need an inline resistor to fool the car. Send em back

Yup send them back as it states that they are CANBUS error free.

I got some that were suppost to be canbus free, but still got blown error and bulbs didnt work. The company on Ebay were really good and sent me about 4 different types that were suppost to work, but i couldnt get any to even light up just got error all the time with no light.
