Guys,

Have any one of u tried to change the bulb?

Original is yellowish and i just change to white LED but on the idrive says that the rear number lights are faulty...

It is not faulty just that drawing a lower current so it detects that it has blown...

Anyway to take away the annoying signal on idrive?

Thanks!

Do a search. You need the resistors. My first set of bulbs finally blew after 8 months of use. Not bad...
