Ive got the led bulbs but when fitted they show bulb fault on dashboard so looking for someone to tell me where I can get the resistor pack to stop this many thanks martin

Probably eBay, but you'd be better off just getting bulbs with the resistor built in. There are plenty around

Have you tried these then do they work?, ie no warning light.

I have had these specific ones in my eBay basket for a while but have not bought them yet, but I have used other canbus-friendly LED bulbs in the past and they worked without showing the bulb warning.

 

If you want to use your current bulbs then you can use the "error cancelling module" like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173448203758 (this is for 21W bulbs, there is a different one for 5W bulbs)

 

As far as I know the module is just a resistor with a big heat sink, to fool the car into thinking it's a standard halogen bulb.

If you can find someone with VCP you could code out the warning and not bother with the resistors, that's what I did in the end.

Can you code out the warning for individual lights though? Because losing the whole bulb warning system for the sake of a couple of quid doesn't seem worth it to me 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I just had the ones I'd fitted LED's to coded out... It was a few years ago I did mine so not 100% on how it works but I think it may even still give the warning on full open circuit.

I've also seen people on this forum just solder the old bulb onto the new LED one, creating enough resistance to not set off the errors. Apparently meant to work good, but it's quite an agricultural way of doing it..
