I had HID's installed in my fogs (before haters jump in, it doesn't look remotely bad, and they're aimed down, so no glare), and I'm getting a bulb out error. I have a VAG, but I'm not seeing any long coding to disable error checking for the fogs. I have the error cancelling add on, but we forgot to install. Just curious if there's a VAG trick to disable that error before I rip the fogs out again.
View 1 RepliesI have been getting random bulb out errors, usually its the front side lights and today with out turning on the lights I had rear parking light...thing is I get out of the car to check and they are lit? Faulty bulbs? stock tails and side markers but do have a bi xenon retro in the headlights using the usp hid kit in the projectors.
View 3 RepliesI got black side markers for my car and put on the bulbs the side markers came with... I like the look but I got the bulb out error.. Wanna keep these bulbs but the error code annoys me .. Need to know the vag-com code to get rid of this? I searched but I can't find it.. I have a 2012 GTI .
View 11 RepliesI installed the lights and they work fine but everytime I turn them on they throw a bulb out error message. I have the cold diagnosis turned off for the fogs and I still have it. Whats next?
Here is my coding. F78F8F2700041500470F0000000000000018110B5C00010000 0000000000
I have an intermittent error that comes on most of the time I have my headlights on, but sometimes goes off and comes back while I am driving. It shows me the bulb out light, and says on the screen "Number plate Check license plate lighting!" I have never touched the oem factory bulbs on the license plates, and if i get out and look at the plate, both lights are on over the plate.
The only change I have made was about a year ago, I installed an LED bulb in the trunk, and ran a second OEM trunk light in the left side and installed an LED bulb in that too, tee'd off the factory trunk light housing. But like I said, that was 1 year and 30,000 miles ago, and my bulb our error for the license plate has only just started, so I doubt they are related.
My driver side bi-xenon bulb was out, so I go to replace the bulb and it still doesn't turn on. I scanned my car with my vagcom, and I get this error.

[Code] .....
I want to change out my fog light bulbs on my MK6 Golf TDI. does this will set off any E-Codes or can I just plug and play?
View 5 Replies I have read all 11 pages of the led light post, and I am more confused then when I started. I bought Ed's opt.4 lights with the LED's. I bought the light kit he recommended: [URL] .... with H7 harness. I have 2012 North American TDI Golf. I purchased and had installed the Bold eruo light switch with light sensor kit. I had someone install everything for me. They have had trouble finding out the proper codes needed. The issues I am having are:
1: with the above set up, they can not get the light bulb out warning light to go out. I was told that it is due to the light kit purchased above, and the fact that it only connects to the drivers side harness, and not the passenger side, so the warning light on my car keeps saying there is a bulb out on the right side.
2: With the euro switch in the Auto position, I get no DRL's at all. The only way I get that is if I turn the switch to the next position, and then I get the low beams, as well as the LED's, and no fogs. This stays the same day or night with the light switch in this position. To get the fogs as well, I turn the knob one more turn, and pull it out, and this gives me the fogs as well as the low beams and LED's.
My questions are:
1: can I get the LED's as DRL's in the Auto position or in the position next to it, and then have the rest of the lights come on automatically at night via the sensor? If so, what are the vagcom codes I would need?
2: Is there anyway to get the bulb out warning light to go away without putting in a different light kit. I was told by the installer that they had to try a few light kits to get one to work with the coding of the vw, and the kit they use connects with two harnesses(one for each head light, and not one harness for both as my set up is).
I recently installed the LED euro tail lights with out swapping pins, or any ghetto harnesses. i simply installed my tail lights with the oem harness. Anyways, after i installed the lights, the bulb out warning came on, i got rid of it, but when i press the brakes it triggers the warning light to appear after i vagcomed it to go away. so what is the coding to get rid of it?
View 2 RepliesOne of my headlights burned out.
I was looking at ECS and saw ES#1059.
Just want to make sure that this is the right bulb.
I've been searching around and have been reading that the easiest way to do it is to remove the front bumper. I'm really hoping this is not the case. I've only taken a quick look at it, but it does seem that some things will need removed. Any quick explanation of the easiest way to get the assembly out of there?
View 4 RepliesSo, I'm not entirely sure if this has been covered, but I dealt with the bulb out warning with the LED tail lights. I am not running the fourth wire. I had tried searching for a while but found no answers. Most conversation about this issue are buried in old threads.
The usual DIY disclaimer applies. In the Central Electrics module (09), access Coding, then Long Coding. You will need to make sure that Byte 19, Bit 3 is checked (Diagnosis Rear Parking Lights Active).
Here is my current coding:
E68D8B6700041500470A0000F000000000918095C000100000 000000000
I have verified all operations (parking lights, brake lights, turn signals [amber]) and no flickering as well.
So I have had the Helix projectors for a while now and i have really liked them up until recently. When i pulled the headlights to install my DDM drop ins i noticed that the wiring looks cheap as hell. and the cutoff inside the projector looks like doodoo.
I So my HID decided to go out... damn second set of bulbs in a week, I swapped the ballasts just to see if it was the same issue and it seems to be not the ballast. Im starting to think that the wiring is just very poor inside these particular headlights.
My real question is even though the DDm Drop ins are like 50-60 bucks...The bulb would have a "spark effect" when u powered them on. They did this for about 20 min when i was messing with them and then went out. Then the lights magically came back in in the middle of driving up the interstate.
My drivers side headlight bulb went out a few days ago and I haven't had the time to get a replacement. Any DIY's or tips for changing them out.
View 8 RepliesWhat is the size bulb for the Fog light. I search but nothing come up.
View 2 RepliesJust installed a set of euro tails with rear fog (non-LED). I also have front fogs on my car. I used the following VDCS changes in Central Electronics to activate the rear fog:
Byte 3 - Bit 1 set to 1 (1 rear fog light)
Byte 3 - Bit 2 set to 1 (1 reverse driving light)
Byte 4 - Bit 6 set to 0 (Rear fog deactivated)
Byte 18 - Bit 3 set to 1 (Cold diagnose rear fog lights active)
All lights work correctly, but I still get bulb out warnings for all four fog/reverse lights, i.e.
Front Left Fog
Front Right Fog
Rear Left Fog
Rear Right Reverse
I have cleared all CECM errors and the warning light disappears, but as soon as the fog lights are used, it comes back.
So I bought a set of Phillips XTreme Vision bulbs for my GTI VII S. Problem is that I cant seem to open the rear housing of the headlight on the drivers side to gain access to make the switch. The gearbox is right behind and there is barely room to get my hand back there. Is there some trick I am overlooking?
View 3 RepliesGot the light bulb symbol in the tach this afternoon. After checking it out, the LR inner bulb seems to be out. Am I correct in assuming I have to pull back the carpet, then remove 2 nuts/washers, and then remove the taillight lens/housing to replace the bulb? Any recommendations on bulb or just stay with OEM? My R32 has 88K+ miles and this is the first bulb to go...
View 5 RepliesWhen I brake, my turn signal bulb lights up. Is that how it's supposed to be? Which bit I need to change in the vag?
View 5 RepliesThis just started happening a few days ago. The right bulb will turn on normally with the rest of the car, but as I'm driving it will randomly turn off for a second, then power back on. Some nights I won't see the issue at all, other nights it will be doing this every other couple of minutes or so.
View 10 RepliesHow do you remove the city or parking light bulb in the 2011 GTI, without the HID projector headlights? I have the regular halogen set-up...I want to change them to a super white bulb to match my Xenesis bulbs.
I know its the 194 bulb, I just can't seem to pull it free...
