Reverse light bulbs - cl0ned - 12:th-Dec-2018
Hi sorry if this is in the wrong section, Tapatalk newb here.
I have been trying numerous led bulbs on my 5 door as they are possibly the worse reversing lights in the world!
but all have been throwing a error on the dashboard.
Some where supposed too be canbus error free... Oh the things they say to sell them!
Can anyone point me in the direction of one that's bright and doesn't throw a error?
Thanks in advance.

These are what I have not massively bright but they don't put an error on the dash (they do put an error on the BCM but you wont see that).

Thank you kindly sir. I'll order some when they're back in stock.
What's the 'BCM.'?

The BCM is the body control module the brains of the car.

When the list was written it was assumed by the author that they aren't on the canbus as no warning messages appear on the dash.
But when there is a diagnostic test run on the car there will be an error code stored on the BCM for them so they are being monitored by canbus.
But as they don't put an error up the dash then there is nothing to worry about and hence why it's been left on the list.
