My Ride: no work done yet, just go the car a week ago but looking to do some work soon
I just installed my LED licence plate light and it was fine at first but now it says that left licence plate lamp malfunction..
I bought them from brabusw209amg and no one has had errors with his light im the only one..
Any idea what it can be? One more thing its not on always just once in a while, like today i drove my car 5 different times and the error came on twice

I just installed mine and got the error twice. I just started, stopped, and restarted the car a couple of times and turned the lights off and on and it went away.

If you continue to have this issue, I'd recommend going with the OEM LED's from Garry. I'd then order the LED cables from Bruce Miranda. I may have spent a little more then others, but I have never had any errors, with both my LCI tails and LED license plates. Good luck!

i have them from brabusw too and mine get errors from time to time. I think you can install something from radio shack on each light it will stop the error, i forgot what the little things are called. They are 1.99 from radio shack online. Shit, someone help me out with what im talking about.
