Hi all, new to the forum . I wanted to change the rear number plate lights on my Mk 3 Octavia VRS but I believe I need to get reaistors as currently LEDs bring up a fault. Has anyone got a simple solution that has worked?

Thanks in advance

There is a kit for all O3 non-driving lights sold LEDPerform and they're all error free.

 

Black_Sheep is the best member to speak to about these that I know of.

You don't need resistors at all - they will just get hot for no reason.

The BCM can be reprogrammed to accept LED number plate lights (OEM VW ones or ebay ones) without errors

I had the ledperf before but they lasted one week and had very poor leds..

I ended up buying this instead and works really good! The light up 2m behind the car

I used the resistor for one week and then followed andywee (thanks dude) vcds led faq, you might need to dim them before you visit MOT...

Don't buy so called CANBUS friendly ones unless you want to risk doing damage to your cars electronics

I've fitted the LedPerf No plate bulbs, they were OK for a day, but now they throw the lamp warning up on the dash.

 

I've now ordered some genuine VW LED No plate lamps and will get them configured via the VCDS.

Is having a white light more important than the ability to report when individual lights go off?

It's really odd they put LED clusters on the VRS but not LED reg light bulbs!

Thanks guys, Frallan do the still bring up a faut ? They look good

No lamp warning, and I cant find any faults with vcds, if not coded with vcds and without the huge resistor they trow errors.

If you do the job properly you don't need resistors or canbus friendly.
