    Bulb Failure

    I've got a message about "Bulb Failure Parking Light" and it's doing my head in.

    I've replaced all 4 "Tail/parking light BA 15s 5W" with BA15S 5W LED.

    Also replaced indicator lights with "OSRAM DIADEM PY21W" still no difference but they do look cool!

    According to the manual there's a parking light at the front which is a w5w bulb inside where the dipped beam (D2R Bulb) but I can't see any other bulb in there.

    I did notice one of the sidelight led's had gone. I've just replaced them today with T10 501 W5W CAR SIDE LIGHT BULBS ERROR FREE CANBUS 6.

    I've still got the mesage, any ideas?

    Indicator bulbs are nothing to do with the 'bulb failure parking light' warning.

    To establish the cause, you first need to remove ALL the led bulbs and fit stock bulbs back in, making sure there is no corrosion on the bulb holder connections.

    My guess is you've either got a bad connection on one of the bulbs or a poor connection.

    There 6 bulbs you need to make sure are working .


    Position No 2 two on each unit
    position No 4 bulb needs too work ..


    Are the leds really 5w as that will be silly bright ?, As Lee says remove the leds go back to stock get rid of message, then have a play if it comes back you know what to do.
