Take resistor out of the drivers side, put a normal bulb in and see if you get error

Found the issue, i doubled up on resistors on the right numberplate bulb (left/passenger only has 1 resistor)

Just plugged the resistor into another resistor then the bulb and voila no error and still working.

Weird.
 
not sure if its the bulbs (doubt it because they all work) the resistors (doubt it because they work fine on sidelights and pass n/p light) or the car ( moat likely - a few of us have problem on this side)
bradgibbs do you still need a resistor on the passenger side? I sent a message to the seller so might try and blag a free one if needed
 
bravo86gaz You need a resistor on every bulb (Side lights, and numberplates)

I solved my issue by putting 2 resistors inline on the drivers side. Passenger side needed 1.

In total, including sidelights 5 resistors needed for 4 bulbs lol. Just to get rid of the bulb failure error.
 
That is so strange. I honestly have ran number plate and sidelights with a resistor and LED bulb with no issues. The resistor worked that wel that when my LED bulb finally went the car didn't tel me it had blown because the resistor was still drawing enough power to fool the car into thinking there was a working bulb in there!


It's really bizarre
Especially as the bulb not 20cm away presumably on the same circuit only needs 1 and won't set it off!

Fiat lol
