front parking LED install throws an Error code?
front parking LED install throws an Error code?
so i get these and install them, works perfect, however it throws a picture of a light and " left front parking" on the dash, i get a replacement, same error, i put the left one on the right side and right one on the left side and still same error, if it was the bulb, the error should have moved... right? what could be wrong? these were to be error free LEDs ?
they are canbus LED's... did some experiementing and found this:
got another set, put it in, same result.. left parking light error, switched them around again, put the left on the right side, right side on left side, same error...
put a resistor on the left side, light just blinks.. took out resister, reinstall bulb
then i found this out:
light switch on auto
start car
lights come on
get error message "left parking light"
turn off car
with car turned off
turned light switch to off
start car
turn switch to on
lights come on
no error message
drove the car, 40 min later still no message
got home,
light switch on auto
start car
error message
turn off car
light switch on off
start car
turn light switch to on
no error message
also while driving , when the lights automatically comes on like driving into a tunner, there is no error message... seems to only have the error message if the light switch is on auto and starting the car...
now what do i do?

No solution but I have the same problem. When left on auto and start the car, I get the error on both sides. If lights off when I start the car, I don't get the errors after I switch them to "Auto" or "On"... Anyone came up with a solution to this? It is annoying not to have them on "Auto"...
dan,
i feel your pain, after trying different ones including the ones from AZN Optiks still the same result, i have also tested the leads and found no voltage differences, i have tried installing capacitors, still same problem, i have since then moved on and put regular 194 bulbs that makes it look like 6000k... i prefer the "AUTO" function over having to turn the lights on and off manually

I have the same issue, with the AZN led bulbs, tried a bulb swap, move from side to side, always get the error on the left side only. I have had the same issues with the
auto setting, I just accept pushing the button on the steering wheel to clear the code as part of my start up procedure now. I swapped out the standard bulbs because they burned out so fast, so I am not interested in going backwards.
