Led rears, are all Bulbs led?

All done.
Remove 2 phillips screws and slide the light cluster sideways to release it from the 2 clips.

Considerably whiter and brighter.

Hi @Loz, it looks like the original turn indicator bulb is orange. Did you have to get an orange LED replacement, or is the cluster appropriately coloured to facilitate a white light behind it?

Have just ordered orange ones as the lens is clear.

Has anyone changed the front indicators bulbs in the LED units, i have had a look but it looks rather tight to get to that bulb? If i remove the two cap head bolts on the top of the unit does that release the lamp to move it forward a bit to make it easier ?

Right these arrived, tried them still showing a error light on the dash but work fine.

Also fitted https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016RY9KX0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 in the side indicator lights and the worked great, much brighter with no errors. So one success.

I have a set of amber LEDS for the from headlight indicators but i cant get them out there a sod to get to! are try Again another day.

You can turn off bulb monitoring for each individual pair of lamps via VCDS if reqd

Thats one way round it, i will see if they can give me a fix first, may just return them. are the side indicators not monitored then as there not showing any warning light on dash?

 

[Pauly]

Not sure I would guess not, probably just the main ones front and rear

I did think that, i dont think the front ones will work without a error light either. Is it because they draw less power the van thinks they have blown ?
