Hey guys. 

 

I replaced the rear sidelights in my 2015 fabia to led's and configured them with vcds.

 

I read in another topic that I should change the value to "led lichtmodul" but I don't have that option. 

 

The only option that removed the error was "led bremslucht" but all the bulbs start failling and blinking after 1 day. 

 

Has anyone configured rear side lights on a 2015 fabia? What other option should I use? 

 

Thank you so much

The Coding shouldn't hurt the bulbs, it just tells the BCM what to expect in terms of current/resistance etc.

If it's coded for LEDs and you put a fillament bulb in it'll complain because it'll be too high current than it expects, if it's coded for fillaments and you put an LED one in, it'll complain as it's not seeing much current draw compared to what it's expecting.

 

Sounds like you just got a **** set of bulbs? What brand were they?

I thought that since the brake lights are more powerful than larking lights (21w vs 5w), the way I configured them would be too much power to the led's. 

 

I have the same bulbs in my license plate and they work fine. 

 

The are cheap unbranded leds

There isn't really a thing as too much power for the led's, as long as the voltage is the same for the filament and replacement LED units. They will draw the current/amps they require... its just whether the car sees them as either have too high or low a resistance as LED's will generally have a lot less resistance over an equivalent filament bulb.

That's what im thinking, a good bulb will be designed to take a range of voltage, but a cheap one will use low quality led chips that are weaker and more susceptible to damage by voltage fluctuations. Good LEDs are quite expensive.

OK, thank you so much. 

 

I thought that was strange because the same led's work fine on my license plate. 

I already have some different ones to try. Still cheap, but different 😂
