    Hi guys If you have fitted led sidelights and want to get round the canbus issue fit these .

    I have led sidelights with resistors built in but for some strange reason one of mine keeps throwing up a bulb error

    I fitted these last night and it has cured the error problem.

    Hth's guys, Just make sure the resistor is not close to any wires as they get very hot.

    Rappy

    There are cheaper load resistors available that will do the same job, or so they say. I have error free number plate LEDs, but the odd time, always when freezing, thy throw up an error but it clears when there turned on.

    I had purchased his number plates ones over a year ago and they have been fault free.

    I have replaced my sidelight ones a few weeks ago due to rusting up as they are not capsulated.

    On one of my new ones I have been getting an error hence purchasing the resistors. I dont think £9.99 for a pair of resistors is bad at all
