Fast indicator flash after LED parking light fitment.- D3.

[loanrangie]

Fitted some JW speaker canbus suitable LED globes to the parking lights, parkers work fine but getting a fast flash on the left indiactor.
I didn't touch the indicators or any other part of the light so not sure why that is, anyone had this before ?

Fast flashing used to indicate one of the indicators is not working on one of the sides. If you walk about the car, are all of them working? Sorry, I’m sure you’ve checked that, but worth repeating.

Thanks i hadn't checked as i only noticed it just before starting work, just checked then and that light isnt working so i'll check the globe and wiring at lunchtime.

Well that was an easy fix, when i pulled the light out the plug just slid right out so wasn't clipped in properly .

Which ones did you get? As I was thinking of doing the same as my left front one keeps blowing, at first because someone hadn't inserted it properly so it melted the plastic a bit, so wouldn't go all the way in and thus overheated. I cleaned up the hole with a drill bit, but now I think it's too loose, so has the same problem. I thought led might run cooler, but didn't know the park lights to be canbus compatible.

These are what i fitted, nice bright output and updates the old D3 a bit from the old yellowish globes.

I bought the LED indicator lights at Autobarn on Saturday as they were having a 25% off everything sale, which I see has turned into a 30% off selected big brands sale yesterday and today for their members, check your emails for details.

I know nothing about Canbus globes but they are listed on AliExpress

For $1.53 for two with free shipping it'd be worth taking a chance.
Hunt around on there and there will be many options.

I've just ordered some H7 Phillips globes from AliExpress at a fraction of the local price. At the end of the day wherever you buy them from they are made in China.......

LED indicators don't play nice in a D3 so i hope you meant parkers.

That's right, I meant park lights.
