LED Sidelights canbus error!
« on: December 08, 2012, 05:07:46 pm »
I bought the 6000k led sidelights from the link below. They work perfect and are very bright. But this lasts 5 seconds!
They then turn off and I get the light out on the dash.

Is there any way to get around this? Apart from getting new bulbs! Or any coding through VCDS?

HI

OK, this is a dead easy one...... I got small xenon colour bulbs to pop in to the side lights...... how the b*gger do you get the side light bulbs out!?? My hands are like shovels and won't fit/grab the tiny bulb holders well..... Do you need to twist them, or just pull them backwards/out?   Whilst I here, how to I change my front fog light bulbs too?  Do I have to take the under carrage off and then access the holders from behind, or do I undo the small hex screw at the front and pop out the panel holding the light!

LED's are cool, but after having constant canbus issues on my old BMW, I am Xenon in colour only now..... :wink:

Just pull im afraid. I used a pair of pliars in the end on a cold night. Watch out you dont pull the wires though!
