hi
i just recently tried putting LED t10 bulbs in the parking front
the problem i am facing is they always remain on AS dim ,
when i turn on the parking they brighten up , when i turn off they dim down ,
this is not the problem with normal t10 filament type bulbs ,
when i change back to filament type T10 bulbs they work as normal
is it just standard that some voltage passes through even when turned off and normal high wattage bulbs dont show it but low wattage LED bulbs show it ??????
i ordered 10 blue LED first , they looked bad so i ordered 10 more in white
all 20 of the LED bulbs i have do this ,
or is there some wiring issue ,
i never experienced and blown parking bulbs or any bulbs if i recall
has anyone tried LED bulbs in S-type or S-type R front parking
thanks

it has to do with resistance.......the LED bulb does not have the same resistance as a standard halogen bulb. if you add a resister to the wiring it will not do that. It has been known in newer vehicles to trip the BCM into thinking a bulb is out.... case in point my vw gti is one of the cars that does this.

I changed all bulbs in car and parking lights to leds and noticed the same thing and a day or two later my battery was dead had to remove all leds and go back to halos (i really liked the white led lights in the car)..is there a single place i can hook up a resistor or do i have to install resistors to all leds (roughly 14 leds)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
