i agree fella..done money on supposed plug and play leds and even had the ones from bmtown work a day without throwing a error code :? in hindsight for what it cost me for the resistors and someone to do it [50 quid] i had already spent that on different types of supposed plug and play bulbs.. :boots:

How do you set the output? are you changing the output Watts? in VCDS
didn't know this was possible?

There is a % setting in VCDS I think standard is 71% of something, I think there was one setting for both lights but not sure now - if you are going to adjust I would do so at night with the car outside as in the garage against the wall it was hopeless !
