That I can't tell you as I don't have first hand experience.

Cool.

Are you able to let me know how, in NCS, it can be disabled? I can then give Blood the info for us to do my car.

Cheers

Blood already knows how, lol. I assume you don't follow the coding threads. Disabling the checks is easy as pie, and one of the more elementary coding stuff

I would also try coding my car, but I'd probably prefer to use a resistor if it means that the bulb checks will still work. However, if its possible to disable the checks ONLY on the angel eye bulbs, then that would be fine.

I tried to follow it but I soon got lost lol

I don't suppose you've seen a way to disable "rear light right failure" since the last time we speak?

Nope. Still don't know what that error means. Maybe you should swap out that taillight to another and see if the same error occurs.

Are you familiar with NCSExpert coding? If not, you need to read up on it to do this.

Well so far all I have done is coded a digital speedo with NCSExpert. This is my only experience with it as I originally bought the cable so that I could code some power folding mirrors. (which I haven't bought yet)

What module do I need to code & what lines do I need to edit to stop the bulb checks on the angel eyes?

I have read 'LMA' in NCSExpert. As it is in german I have tried to translate the file with google but because most of the words are abbreviated I'm not getting much of a translation.

Do I have to disable cold and warm checks? (KALTUEBERWACHUNG, WARMUEBERWACHUNG)
