Have you changed any the DRL sidelight bulbs? Also this can come up for the light too

I have not changed nor played with any lights Rusty. Oh only the rear left back light bulb. Those warnings came 2 month ago :( I showd the message to the Opel service & they didnt know what to do ( Monkeys ) they told me they have to make tests. I have an OBD2 Bluetooth device can i use it to see this problem ?

Do you have auto lights?
If not start the car and make sure both DRL'S are lit then put side lights on and check both sidelight bulbs are working, then walk to back and check rear lights are.
Put on to dipped head lights and again walk round the car and check.
I'm sure you find there is a bulb out be it DRL sidelight or rear sidelight, no need for fancy computer bits.

[MENTION=2]tucpal[/MENTION] Thank you mate for your help. Last night I got a burned brake light error so I verified & it was burned. I red both of the links, I found those leds bulbs in my country & I would like from you to tell me if they will work if I replace them as in your post. And also can you tell me please a good bulb for the break lights ? Thanks again tucpal.
1st Option
Here are all of them of canbus
All of the Can Bus

the taillights can be replaced with the LED W5W T10 501
reverse light and rear fog light are LED H21W 433D
there is a warning with the rear taillight LED,s if you have DAB they can interfere with the radio reception but FM there is no problem at all
this is is what i used
taillights

you may find them cheaper in Romania

as for the brake lights i have the standard bulbs still as they are on the canbus and you will get errors
if they are changed to led and load resisters would need to put in place and it is just not worth the bother
