Hello to all. Just wondering if anyone has fitted these as replacements for their tail lights. No problem with mine at the front,in fact I'd recommend them as they are a vast improvement. The rears however,although equally impressive,throw up the bulb failure warning on the dash. Dilemma time as either I re-fit the old ones or remove the dash warning bulb... and it looks like common sense and right thinking will prevail. Just a heads-up for anyone considering this and if anyone knows of a way round this ,I'd appreciate the input as I'd prefer to keep the led's at the back and doubt I'll need 4 spares for the front.

Just fit a 3W resistor across the supply to the bulb.

Canbus free is a con. They just fit resistors.

I can't remember the impedance but they're pretty popular on eBay. Gold coloured things, I've got 50w ones on my headlights.
