    bulb error on dash.

    I put some LED parkers and indicator globes, but the dash bulb error comes up.
    Is there any way of getting rid of it?... The bulbs I bought work, but it still appears as a bulb error?
    how can I bypass it.

    The resistance in the LED is not as great as a normal bulb, so like in many cars with these smart systems you need load resistors. I'm not sure how you can do this for the system in the car but I have them for my boat trailer with LED lights. Good luck.

    I bought plug in resistors on eBay seems to work fine, get the usual led flicker when start up the caddy, and they get hot too.

    you can turn off bulb monitor with VCDS so it does not check them so in turn does not put the warning light in the dash...VDUB..
