position light led

hello, I have in my sl xenon light but the position light (that's what it's called here in Spain) has a yellow light and I don't like anything, I changed the lamp for a LED one but in the picture it tells me that the lamp is Fused and does not turn on, I had to put the position light that brings the car of origin that illuminates a yellow light that looks very ugly when I turn on the xenon lights. Someone has changed those lamps for other LEDs that do not give error? Thank you

You need to use so called CANBUS LED or add an external resistor in parallel with normal LED.

I have ordered all my lighting from AZN Optics (at least 6 different cars) and can say they have great products and stand by their stuff!
