Error Free CANBUS Friendly LED's

[Jarre]

Are these sidelight LED's likely to be Pre-FL friendly?

They will fit the pre fl and also wont have any errors at all

Stop posting pictures.

It makes me want to guy buy a HID kit, just so I can get matching LED's too

I'm starting to hate these forums.

Superb. Might have to have a go at a set. See if I can out-dazzle a Citroen DS3 with its ludicrous fairy lights!

Bought these yesterday, arrived today, fitted, and got an error! Swopped the left and right bulb to see if it made any difference but still have a nice big fat light bulb on my dashboard

No one else has had problems with them

Do they error when the sidelights are on, or just when they're off?

Sorry to hear it mate !

When I start the car the error light goes off, so its happy theres nothing wrong, but when i turn the sidelights/headlights on, after about 10 seconds the error light comes on, and will then stay on while the lights are on, and also when the lights are turned off.

I've sent the seller, HIDs Direct, and email to let them know my problem and asked if they would send me another set. If they work in other peoples FL models they should work in mine and therefore they are maybe just a defective set of bulbs?

Yeah could be. I can't see why it'd be the car that's the issue, but I'm no expert.
My new ballast stopped working this morning, I'm getting to the end of my tether with xenons lol.

Let me know how you get on!

Were these the side lights or number plate bulbs you got??

Sorry forgot to say, number plate bulbs

Did they have the resistor on the back, and 9 LEDs? or 6 LEDs with no resistor?

I bought a set off ebay that nobody else had a problem with. I installed them and they gave an error when I turned the car on, cycled the lights, and the error went off.

Some of them tend to misbehave.

9 leds with resistors

One bulb seems to be working okay now. I'm going to install the other and try it for 24 hours and see what happens. If that still errors it must be that bulb thats faulty.

I hope it works as the seller wants the bulbs returned for testing

These led's from fleabay are all a bit dodgy in terms of quality, any of you that have a problem with them just send them back, chances are the next batch will work ok

You'll have to return them if you want your money back I reckon, but legally if you buy something via "distance sales", you have 7 days to send it back, even without a reason!

Hope they work properly for you, I really do!

You have to put these in a certain way... took me 3 try's at it go get them to work!!!!!

Also fitted a nice set of 8000k HID front lights and white L.E.D sides!!

As I said earlier on in this thread I'm sure I tried these numberplate LEDs and I got the warning light to.

Been outside again and had a fiddle. One bulb works fine, no errors at all, ive kept the car on for a few minutes. As soon as the other bulb is put in, error is flagged, and the error stays on whether the bulb is on or not.
Therefore one bulb is faulty and i know the other one works fine. So best contact the seller!

keep flipping them round till it works, I had same problem... And yea the error light will stay on untill you turn the key off to reset it. be careful tho as they will get hot if round the wrong way so don't keep them turned on if they ain't illuminated.
