Bugger... I ordered a set of these globes from a UK eBay dealer last week! Did you get the Australian delivered ones?

Yes... let us know, this might be my only option if I get a bulb fail warning as well!

Yes the Aussie delivered ones. Nice and easy to install, shame they didn't work.

OK... well, I might still be in with a chance then!

Spewin, why would they work on my wagon but not your R? Different obc? I have different ones from same dude that came up with the error, they had 4 LEDs facing directly down, thought it might be cause they had 1 less LED!? they were too bright anyway, put them on my
x-trail, they look good

Not sure - must admit I haven't tried changing just one to see if it is one particular bulb or both. I've left the LED ones on for now and will have another look one evening. Maybe I'll take a photo of the bulb so you can compare with the ones you fitted? I'll also check the original bulbs to see if it has a different part number on it.

Don't stress too much, worth a shot for $20!

Yer cool, just curious now. You would think the warning system would be the same across all models hey.

Quick update - It turns out that just one of them is producing the error, the other one is error free, so maybe I ended up with one dodgy one? I've emailed the seller to see what can be done about a swapover.
