HOW-TO LED DRL Error free for the Astra-J 5 door

But our bulb holder is like this(right one): minuses at one side, positives (drl and sidelights) at the other side. You can see the difference on the picture:

So all you have to do is realign the pins of the led bulb in order to fit to our bulb holder:

And voila, leds work in both modes. Thats what i  did with all the leds I ve tried so far and it worked like a charm

So most LED 7443 bulbs come like this

we need them to be like this
so they will dim down for side light

so it is like this for the j then if they wont dim down



With the two plus pins top and bottom on one side of the LED
and both negatives pins on the other side of the LED together
Then the LED is correct for the holder.

IF YOU DO THIS BE CAREFUL AS THE PINS CAN BRAKE IF BENT TO MUCH..

But i still stand by the ones from Hids Direct as they work
without having to do this.

So i recommend you all check the LED bulbs you have got
work first and they Dim down for the side light
before you wire the loads in to cancel errors
as if the LED bulbs are not correct you can still get blown bulb errors
and if the pins are wrong it will think the bulb has blown.
