NayiMac Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hi, Just wondering of anyone else has had a problem with 501 LED Bulbs not working on the puddle lights? The only place on the car that doesn't like them! Put them in, gives a slight flicker and they don't come on? Tried the bulb elsewhere on the car and its fine?? Any help would be appreciated as I hate them yellow standard bulbs! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You probably need Canbus LED's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NayiMac Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 What's the difference with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
137699 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Do they not fade in/out (i.e. are run from a dimmer circuit)? LEDs are either on or off, they don't "do" dimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 LED Bulbs draw a lot less power than a standard incandescent bulb. Canbus bulbs have a resistor built into them to mimic the resistance load of a standard bulb. Without the resistance a canbus equipped car will read the bulb as blown and they won't work properly.
