Headlights - LED

Hi guys!

I have changed my OEM headlights from my Astra J, to OEM LED headlights daylight. However, the car give an daylight error. Can this be resolved by updating/change settings of the software?

Best Regards from Portugal!

You need to wire in resistors to stop the errors. It's because a led uses less power than a standard bulb

Thanks!
Exist another way to do it without the resisters? by changing the car software settings?

Sadly not no. The GTC doesn't have errors but the 5 doors do. I've got LEDs but have to have the resistors fitted.

Have you swapped the whole headlight to an LED headlight or have you just swapped bulb?

Ok in that case I would advise getting a VCI request sent in to GM asking for the software.

They may say no they may allow it.

Request the VCI via the BCM.

Select no programming possible.

What I would put in the comments box is.

Custom has fitted LED DRL/ sidelight headlamps due to a accident of ordering the wrong parts.
Custom is now getting a warning to check bulbs.
Could you please supply a VCI code for the software / calibration files for these headlamps to work error free.

Thank-you.
