| Is It possible to replace the standard glass bulbs with L.E.D. equivalents or will it throw up errors on the canbus system. Had a bad run of blown bulbs recently and the rear clusters are not the easiest to get to (top nut especially) when you have sausage fingers. Any advice would be a help.
Thanx in advance | |

| Update, sourced some on flea-bay, £22/pair guaranteed 100% error free so the supplier says, will wait to see if there are any reviews first. Red, amber and white availlable | |

| no joy yet, but i conntacted the supplier and the bulbs are sidelight fittings only (5s) and not the larger ones needed for the tail lights. but they also said that because of the growing market of vehicles fitted with canbus systems it is something they will be persuing in the future | |

| they're tidy units will probably have a dabble at them for the price, everything standard on my bus yet due to warranty but 8 months and counting and there will be no holding back. lol.
done the washers and air con as you suggested, even wired in the n/s rear fog due to getting nabbed by frog police last year.
cheers for the link | |
