Annoying Check side marker Light

I installed the clear side markers and the warning light only came on once in a while now it’s like almost every five minutes or so it comes back on after I clear it off, my question is there something I can do to get that to stop coming up
thanks

I chose to use non-led bulbs, they look clear until the light up and then look amber. I believe they are called Chrome Amber. eBay

Hi Marv,

I might try these out. I have the LED depo’s and I get the error message. Do you have a picture of what it looks like? The LEDs while problematic do look really good - match the DRLs of the CLS.

Thanks

You can always upgrade the bulbs themselves to LEDs also if you wanted crisp LED lighting. Amber or white. Would be optically clear and no worries about eventual paint flaking from coated halogen bulbs.

You need canbus LEDs in the side markers, regular LEDs will throw that message.
