Canbus free rear led indicator bulbs? for all red rear lenses
« on: January 18, 2013, 10:10:37 am »
Im going to tint all of my rear lenses red. done this on my corrado, and to get the amber light to penetrate through the red tint i had to use the SMD led bulbs.
Now ive done a search on ebay and found these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281015994319?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

They say there canbus error free but there's a note at the bottom, that some models may still experience warning lights???

Any advice/recommendations?

Hi Mate

if the lights throw up a fault just add some of these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PY21W-BAU15s-1156-LED-Car-Bulbs-Can-Bus-Error-RESISTORS-FIX-Plug-Play-/310351624570?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item484265f97a

if the connections are no good just solder them into the cct, all done

are they about half the diameter of the ones you bought? 

if its like this one on this webiste   http://www.kleinspul.nl/index.php?productID=4063&cat=2361 i have some CANBUS ones that will fit and are 13 amber LEDS.  i will do the 2 for £12 paypal gift including shipping

i used bulbs like them in my r32 rears before i upgraded to LED ones like the Jetta.

Just let me know,

Thanks
