You might need to add a resistor parallel to those LED bulbs anyway as the site suggests.

When I installed my non-Canbus LED DRLs I placed in parallel a resistor of appr. 22 Ohm / 50 Watt. You might want to check what the resistance of those Ebay LEDs is. See my earlier post in this topic: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showpost.php?p=3486757&postcount=20

Would be interested to see how these look, once installed.

I know what Websta means. I changed the quantity to two, and the priced doubled (£30), but then I changed it to "pair" and the price stayed the same. Then I added the discount (£11 total) and got free delivery. I thought it was worth a try. If only one turns then its no big deal, but if I get a...

I mate of mine is an Audi mechanic, and reckons you just need to find some bulbs with the same power draw as the bulbs you have. You can get bulbs with resistors in - or add resistors yourself, to 'fake' being the correct bulbs, so that the CAN-BUS doesn't mistake it for a bulb fault due to a...

I replaced my stock main beam (H1) bulbs in my FR with Osram Nightbreakers and noticed quite a good improvement in brightness and reach of the light, although I agree it's only slightly whiter in colour than a normal bulb's output. I noticed that ultraleds have started selling 'warm white' LED...

I might be totalyl off the wall here, but this is my understanding of Canbus... Canbus (=Car Area Network bus) is the VW version of what all cars have these days.Computers! In the same way the engine is controlled by an ECU that responds to sensors in all parts of the engine and fuel system...

It's all to do with the resistance of the filament in the bulb and the resistance of the bulb connections (well the resistance of the circuit really but those are the 2 weak points), Just because the bulb works it doesn't mean it's not flickering or glowing dim. I agree though that the system...

None of the bulbs from this web site appear to be CAN Bus tolerent, there are other threads on this matter regarding side lights etc. and I'm affraid you have to "load the curcuit"with either a t501 bulb or a resistor set up - which will get hot so need to be placed in a plastic free location...

Yes that what I did about 2yrs ago I have two 15 stack LED, simple's and cheap. ................ [ CAN BUS was not available then!

Good Good :) Had to fit Resistors to me OLD HID kit from me Ibiza aswell What a a pain the Can-Bus System is

At least it's not just me then! Yeah they're a new kit with the black digital ballasts, i had the problems so got the warning cancellers and still had problems! I've been in contact with hids-direct and i'm going to try the can-bus pro kit to see it that helps? I'll let you know how i...

a couple of us seem to think the Can-Bus error can be sorted without using resistors!!!! On VCDS There is an option to turn OFF Cold Diagnostics on all of the bulbs which we seem to think it will stop the error light coming up and mean you can use normal bulbs Just need to test this with...

You don't have the can-bus ones? I thought these didn't work? Have you soldered resistors in?

Has anybody tested this yet? I had to fit Resistors to my Old MK4 Ibiza HID's to get them not to flag up an error light on Leon Would be Much Simpler if we could simply just turn off the Bulb Monitoring :D Which would mean we wouldnt need to then fork out for Special Can-Bus bulbs at extra...

Sean, Unfortunately it's the same for me, the exact same kit and the same problems, if your's is a relatively new kit, the ballast should be the new 'digital' ones, so take the warning cancellers off and try it then, I did that on mine, they don't shut down but I still get a bulb warning when...

Well yeah, kinda. Instead of resistors i wired in the standard bulbs into holders in the engine bay. Same purpose as fitting resistors, and handy if you're under the bonnet at night :p. Worked a treat. My sidelights have 15 small LED's in them.:)

Yeah, had the same problem with my LED sidelights and HIDS. HID kit cost over £100 for CAN-BUS version and had to get resistors for my sidelights. We normally say 470R resistor does the trick, I used them on my LED sidelight bulbs and tell other customers to use them. (bonus working at Maplins...

There are various threads about this. Your mileage may vary though... Personally I started off with a pair of "canbus compatible" LED sidelights with the electronics to cancel the bulb warning built onto the PCB that plugs straight into the 501 bulb holder. These took a bit of fiddling to...

You can get LED's c/w CAN BUS s/w control fitted, but they are not cheap. the problems you have heard are due to people fitting hot resistors to plastic panels and NOT to the metal body which you should do!! so heat is disapated. a quick seach on the internet "can bus leds" should give several...
