L E D Side Lights?

djdsadler · 03-30-2005, 05:25 PM

Can any one help?
I want to change my side light bulbs to L E D ones, but the problem is that i have a bulb warning function on my A3.
As L E D bulbs run at a low wattage they dont register and the bulb warning function reads it as a bulb out!
Is there any way of deactivating the bulb warning function?
Thanks Dan..

At the risk of sounding dumb, what is Vagcom.
I asked my Audi Dealer they said there is no way of turning it off, unless you cut the wires!!

How about wiring resistors in parallel to your LED lights? The lights should still work and the resistor will fool the car into thinking that the bulbs are present.

A 6ohm, 50watt resistor ought to do it, but be warned, the resistors will run HOT!

This chap has done it:::
