Hi @kieran a couple of us have had success in replacing the reversing light with LED items. However those who have tried the same for the indictors get a canbus fault come up, I don't believe anyone has had success yet. I know @StudleyGlass has tried and failed, maybe he's tried again.Fitted mine today from the forum shop , Very easy to fit , even threading the wires from one side to another was easy . Look so much better now. Are there any LED bulbs for the indicators available ? A quick before and after pic.

I have fitted some LED to the reverse lights with no issues so thought i would ask about the indicators. Thanks for answering.Hi @kieran a couple of us have had success in replacing the reversing light with LED items.

There is a thread for lamps and bulbs which details the type that some of us have got for the reversing lamp if you want to do those, which may be worth a look.
Which indicator LED's did you use please ?Yes as @DaveyB says they do show a error so you need to fit resistors or turn the bulb out light off in VCDs. its a job i have not had time to do as yet they still sat on the shelf. I have swapped the side repeaters to LED as there is no warning dash light for those .
Its the rear indicators but if they are available for the side ones too that would be better still . Thanks for looking for me .I will have a look for you @kieran do you mean the sides or the rear indicators?

If you disable the dash warnings with VCDS, do you still get the slow flashing with the LED indicator bulbs?Yes as @DaveyB says they do show a error so you need to fit resistors or turn the bulb out light off in VCDs. its a job i have not had time to do as yet they still sat on the shelf.
