H8 fog lights change for LED

Post by peter007 »

Hi guys, did anyone manage to change fog lights to LEDs? I have GTI with full LED lights and its very annoying when the corner light turns on... I want to buy a set of Osram or some other brand H8 LED but I’m afraidn that it still will show fault... what do you think?

The same with turn indicator in the back, I will try to change it to LED today and we’ll see...

Thanks

I tried two different makes of H8 LED’s, one set from Amazon Novasight and a set of Twenty20 canbus lights and both sets activated the error message on the dash. After this I fitted a set of Osram night breaker unlimited standard bulbs that give a more of a white light and 20% increase in brightness. Let us know how you get on.

Installed these Neolux which is produces by Osram. Error appeared. I will try to see if there is a possibility to change coding in VCDS to make it LED. I know that in Golf’s and Octavia’s it was possible.

Regarding rear turn lights and reverse lights, all of them show error as well... though it looked very nice...

Does OBDEleven not allow you to program the car to accept led bulbs?

What bulb did you use for your reverse light? They look really nice.
