Dectane LED Tail Lights Errors??
Dectane LED Tail Lights Errors??
Is anyone running the Dectane RA16SLRCL tail lights or equivalent in smoke on an avant?? (Not the litec ones)

The car's getting detailed atm and I left them the lights to fit and they've come back telling me it's throwing an error; specifically the indicators. Any ideas?
Cheers folks

I don't have these lights, but my guess would be the indicators are LEDs & so triggering a "bulb out" warning, if so a couple of these resistors wired into the lights should sort you out (one for each indictator).

I only get an error if I leave auto lights on, other than that they work perfectly without errors

Re: Dectane LED Tail Lights Errors??
they should be plug and plug
no errors
the only error i had on mine was with autolights, where if you turned the iginition on when it was dark, the autolights was turnon before the car had a chance to figure out the lights turned on and so threw a bulb out warning ... simply switching the lights off and on solved it.

Re: Dectane LED Tail Lights Errors??
Thanks for that. If it comes to it & I can't resolve it I might PM you for more info as I'm totally inept when it comes to that sort of thingMB2 wrote:I don't have these lights, but my guess would be the indicators are LEDs & so triggering a "bulb out" warning, if so a couple of these resistors wired into the lights should sort you out (one for each indictator).

Klauster & DK were your indicators LED?

Mine give an error every single time I start the car with the lights switched to anything but off. If I get the error and switch off and on again the error goes.
I spoke to Dectane and they said it's because the lights are designed for LHD cars and the resistors are wired specifically for that, I considered running the wires from left to right and vice versa in the boot but didn't bother.

yes mine were led indicators
Re: Dectane LED Tail Lights Errors??
I run RA16LR's and as said if you have the switch to 'auto' and it is dark enough for auto lights to trigger on start up they will throw a bulb out warning, mine is for fogs. Either start the car in the dark with lights off or quick 1 second flick of switch from auto to off and back again clears it.
It also only happens if the car is sat for more then 5 hours for some reason. If less than that from the last time they were on it works fine. I gather this must be the time the resistors lose their impedence.

I get the same every so often, just swtich them on and off and no issues.DazN wrote:Mine give an error every single time I start the car with the lights switched to anything but off. If I get the error and switch off and on again the error goes.

I think its worth the pain as they look cool

Pictures of them on your avant would be appreciated if you get the chance

Heres them on a less ghetto booty model!


Re: Dectane LED Tail Lights Errors??
lol... thankyou! I can't make my mind up about these things. I think I'd probably want clear instead of smoke.

I think the clear look very 'Lexus' and thats whats spawned every boy racer/modder buying them for there cars, but to each there ownShadow6ix wrote:lol... thankyou! I can't make my mind up about these things. I think I'd probably want clear instead of smoke.
