? Can you explain a bit further plz mate? Do you mean a flasher when you say relay - i.e. a flasher that doesn't go quicker when you fit LED's?
Yep, fitting LED bulbs will make the car think that the bulb is blown because they draw bugger all current, that;s why they flash fast. All you do is replace the relay with an LED flasher relay. I bought a Narva one and it worked fine but it didn't make the ticking noise.

I currently have LEDs over the rear number plate on my vz calais. When I first installed them I always got the blown park bulb error come up on the dash, but a month later it doesn't have the error anymore. Think it just gave up.

the light prob went out cos the light blew.

there is also the re-learn procedure in the owners manual for lights i beleive,

after a while they must do a check and learn itself

A mate got booked for blue LED parkers, copper wasn't happy to see blue lights on a non cop car, also red is the same. Green is supposed to be only to indicate fridge on for a semi, but there are lots of people with colours so the risk is yours. I have green parkers in my kenworth, thinking about doing the dore as well?

Hey all,

So if i have VZ Lumina with a 3 window dash what should it tell that is blown?

Also i have those SMDs in my font parkers, they harldy ever work some times they do somtimes they don't but cant get them out.

What would be the cause of this ?

Cheers

Why can't you get the parkers out?
