Retrofit interior LED lights not working

Post by Dav02 »

So I'm not a fan of the yellow bulbs and prefer the clear/white lights.
I bought some replacements for interior and number plates. Codes 239 & 501. While i was at it I thought i mayas well try the LED versions. Anyway, once fitted non of them work? :?: :?

Reverting back to the old bulbs, and all is fine again. Is there anything I'm not aware of when fitting LED bulbs?
Do I need to do anything else to ensure they work?

Thanks

I assume you have bought ones without built in resistors on them. Halfords ones flickered for me. So I bought some error free ones off eBay that have built in resistor and they work fine. The number plate bulbs might throw up a error code but you can program that out.

Yeah I done the same. Nothing. They will accept a return well they did on mine. Just cheap ones off eBay in mine works great. Been in 18 months maybe 2 years still going.
