Hi all … am I correct in thinking that the small LED side lights I fitted the other day have brought the dash wanting light on ? And if so , anybody know of a set that don’t ?
Thank you

Basically you need canbus friendly ones.
The resistance on some leds will put the bulb warning on.

Dash warning light for bulb out
Using scanner 1.4 I can see a large table showing all the lights and tick boxes for various checks on them.
Usually I find the numberplate lights are unticked and therefore not checked.
If you found someone with that software they should be able to remove the check on the sidelight bulbs too.
