    Well had a guy contact me asking for some help with his polo. He has changed his headlamps for some aftermarket ones, led type. now his bulb warning indicator is on, and also his indicators flash quickly on the dash but outside work at a normal rate??? We spent quite a bit of time last night going through all we could find on the net, but still have not managed to sort out the problem. For the life of me I could not find anything in the long coding for this.

    Anyone else come across, and if so were you able to sort it out? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    An LED lamp will have a much higher resistance than a lamp with an incandescent bulb, so the BCM is seeing a circuit fault because the circuit resistance is much higher than the BCM is expecting it to be. He will probably need to add load resistors in parallel with the LED lamps to bring the circuit resistance back down to a level that the BCM is happy with.
