I tried lots of different ones before Trups came up with a solution and none of them worked. Went for Trups canceller in the end and had no trouble since.

For the bootlight Trups now puts a bulb inside the boot which gets round the issue, mine did it at start-up then went away but every now and then would pop back up before disapearing a few sec later

Sam - mine have never thrown errors - ever. The only error thrown was the number plate lights with auto lights - to avoid, set the dial to '0' and let the green 'OK' clear form the DIS. I did try some Mylitco ones and they, on occasion are OK.

Sam, the interior LED, door puddles and red side door lights and transform the car.

DO IT! :biggrin2:

Dave - do you mean the number plate light? The small blue incandescent is enough to circumvent an ongoing error thrown but won't eradicate an error on a car with auto lights set to 'Auto' at the initial turn of the ignition. You have to set this to '0' to allow the DIS to clear the green 'OK' and turn the lights on. If you do this in the daylight (defeats auto lights) then it won't throw an error if you enter a tunnel, dark lane or indeed it gets dark...

Talking boot lights and I have Auto lights and they now dont ever error out after Trups :biggrin3: put a bulb mounted on the inside of the boot lid void.

I cant complain about Trups at all. I've just had a bulb fail over the weekend that i'd bought a few months ago - PM'd him sunday telling him, urgently need replacement yada yada, he's posted this AM for delivery tomorrow. Can't grumble at that!

I run trups interior, sidelight and DRL's.

Trups got an issue with the side lights batch check he's got round the issue as I went through 3 LED's, great sevice and a nice guy he drove down to London from Nottingham just to sort the issue so I can't thought the guys service.
