Hi

I recently installed some C5W LED bulbs in the number plate lights (rear, obviously). And I keep getting an error, because the car thinks that the bulbs are not working when they really are.

Is there any way I can fool the car into thinking that the light is really working? Or perhaps program it with VAG-COM so that it no longer checks the rear license plate bulbs?


Any suggestions.

 

you have to add resistors! otherwise NO go.

 

how do I add them? Where should I connect them?

 

ya i would like to know as well... is it hard to d as well?

 

connect the resistor after the 1st LED in the circuit your running the LED's in

 

where can you buy those resistors and how much resisrtance?

 

resistors can be found at radio shack, they are small and reletively easy to work with, as far as exactly what kind bring in the LED to radio shack or know the amp and wattage of the LEDs your using and they will set you up with the proper resistors

when you learn about how and why LED's are different then standard bulbs you'll understand why you need resistors because the current is different

i only know this because my roomate (i'm a college kid) made his own custom LED tailights and i helped him out with it....they look sick tho

 

o ok cool thanks man
