Hello all,
I've added some LEDs to the front sidelights on my W209 to match the 'white-ness' of my xenons... Job done and they look good (no errors).
I also did the interior bulbs, again brighter and better (again, no errors).
I decided to order a set of rear brake bulbs and reversing bulbs that were advertised as canbus friendly too. When I fit them they both ignite (bright and white) for a moment, then throw up a bulb failure error.
The manufacturer say to disconnect the battery, take out the fuses(?) and then reset the "computer", which sounds like guff to me.
My point (finally) is would resetting those things really effect the bulb's capability to be invisible (as an LED) to the canbus system?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
