HOW-TO LED DRL Error free for the Astra-J 5 door
#33
Hello guys, congratulations for your great forum. It's nice to see people loving our car so much. I'd like to contribute to your discussion with my experience in led's in order to pay you back for the help your how to's offered to me.
What I ve learned is that we need leds with Current that is above 1.75A in order not to have error messages. Unfortunately I haven't found any leds that exceed 1A yet. Most led sellers lie about led Wattage so you cant be sure about their Current. Anyway, the best leds I ve tried till now are these:

They do show up an error message if you dont have resistors as they are clearly nowhere near 80watts. BUT they are really powerfull, brighter than PIAA 27/8w I used before or any other led I ve tried and they are WHITE. Really white without a tint of blue. Any other led I tried was white with a tint of blue. So for me the winner are those leds. Kind of pain in the @@@ to fit them because they are a bit longer than the others but the result will reward you. I haven't fitted resistors yet so I have to press the side button twice in order to clear the messages but i plan to fit resistors.

Also check this out using a translator:

PS: I dont know why but I have a feeling that these leds may do the trick and work without resistors or errors. If someone could try them would be great because for now I'm broke!
