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

Re: Retrofit interior LED lights not working
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.

Re: Retrofit interior LED lights not working
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.
