Leds and canbus systems

[Nobbymogs]

So the guy i bought the car off put cheap leds as number plate bulbs and the canbus system said noooo
Bought some new bulbs supposedly no errors and guess wot yes still errors showing

So are there alternatives or is it easier to.get plain old style festoons its for a 2011 gl450

Thanks in advance all

Haven't done the number plate lights on the S204, but most of the rear lights are now canbus error free LED's plus the sun visor mirror lights and glovebox light, no dashboard errors!

I just bought some normal bulbs for now
As much as i like leds the warning light is annoying

The CANbus error bulbs should be error free. I fitted many LED replacement bulbs to my C class and had no issues. They simply have an internal loading to fool the system into thinking the current draw is the same as a standard bulb so no error appears. If your 'error free' bulbs show an error, I would suggest they are not as sold and should be returned...
