Hey guys, just need some assistance with clearing the check bulb dash light and also would it be possible to deactivate that feature aswell? Located in the Baulkham Hills area. Thanks.

You clear it by replacing the faulty bulb.
Have you installed some leds?
If so where?
What sort of car?

Installed LED's for the number plate lights. Its a mk6 golf gti.Comment

If they are not canbus friendly (IE have inbuilt resistors to simulate a filament globe) coding the bcm for cold lamp diagnosis may not stop the fault.
But we can try. I'm in the Hills also.

Disabling cold diag will only delay the warning light.
Cold diagnosis is done before the light it turned on, at start up vs checking when the tail light is turned on.
I have tried a few ebay brands of Can Bus LEDs and they all throw codes.MK4 GTI - Sold
MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold
MK5 Jetta 2.Slow - Until it dies.Comment

I purched my LED's from BMR Autowerks in Auburn. It said on the website error free, but i guess not. Honestly im happy with the quality of the LED's just a bit annoying having that bulb check light on.Originally posted by JustCruisn View PostComment

Not all 'error free' bulbs are created equal.
Equally not all BCMs are as sensitive to having LEDs rather than filament globes.
The only guaranteed fix is to use either OEM LEDs, or inline resistors.
With that said I have through trial and error managed to get reliable, error free LEDs installed almost everywhere without the need for additional resistors.

Check bulb light
You need the LED's from Bold Sport - they are error free. Otherwise you need these for the Mk6 GTI which i have.
JOM numberplate lights.

These look good. Im assuming it didn't give you an error light?Originally posted by Lucas_R View PostYou need the LED's from Bold Sport - they are error free. Otherwise you need these for the Mk6 GTI which i have.

It's possible to code them out. The ones I got had the parallel box (resistor thing) to fool the car into thinking there was a load like a normal filament bulb. I didn't want a couple of little boxes floating around burning power for the hell out it if I didn't have to.
The guys at The Retrofitters (which doesn't seem to exist anymore) played with the coding and got it working all error free without the resistors.
If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.Comment
