Amber sidelighting

Hello,

i recently changed my standard side light bulbs to an after market white LED style. looked Good but got fed up with seeing the bulb warning light on so i changed them back.

When they were fitted and the side lights were on the cars indicators would be on and work correctly when i needed to indicate
and
when i locked/unlocked the car via the remote they would come on for a brief period in time (the amber bits didnt come on)

ive since changed them back and none of the above happens anymore.
Am i being simple in thinking theres only one way the sidelight bulbs can be fitted as they work when the lights are on?

Anyone else had this problem?

cheers!
 
Yes - you made a simple mistake of not adding a ballast into the system. LED's are only about 0.1 w Vs a normal 5w bulb. That causes the bulb out warning. The amber indicators come on as an extra visible warning.

Search on here as someone else recently went through this problem and figured it out
