LED Sidelights Canbus Compatible - Error
« on: November 12, 2014, 08:10:44 pm »
Hi Guys,

I bought these LED Sidelights which are meant to be Canbus compatible.

Does anybody else have the same ones? (I'm sure I bought them based off a review on here!)

Or can anybody recommend some genuinely compatible LED sidelights please?

(Not after PIAA or Bold Sport ones as I am not looking to spend that much!)

Thanks

I have done a few tests on various LED eBay specials when working on a project and unfortunately they rarely don't throw up a bulb out error. The ones that, when I checked them, worked used a resistor that ran so hot I didn't want it in a confined space but all eBay specials burnt out really quick in my experience. Bite the bullet and buy good quality ones if you want LEDs - they will pay for themselfs cause they will outlast the others by some margin so cost less in the long run.
