LED Side Marker
Has anyone fitted 194-168 LED bulbs to the side marker? Any error messages appear?

There will be always error messages if you replace a bulb with a LED because of the small rezistance sensed by car's computer.

Unless you get an LED with a built in resistor.

I know there would be error massages for eyelids and license plate lights but not so sure about side marker.

a quarter mile at a time
1. ALL exterior bulbs will error
2. Some newer 194 SMD LED's may draw enough current to prevent the computer from throwing errors.

You will need a resistor.

I was going to until I heard about the errors. I have them on the fender repeaters I added to my Volvo. They are clear, but blink amber. I like them. Let us know if you do it.
