Wonder if thats why nobody is running LEDs in the back ups? Also wonder why Audi decided not to use them when everybody else does, and they have more than 30 of them in the lights anyway... EDIT: Just did some reading on the web. Seems that Audis just don't like LED bulbs for exterior lights. For interiors and license plate lights, they're fine, but for any other exterior bulbs, they always throw codes. Oh well, live and learn. Off to AutoZone.
I am running LED reverse bulbs and I have yet to have any problems with the bulb out error. Only when it's cold out but after that it goes away and nothing else.

How cold is cold?

I live in Sweden and have thought about changing mine, but maybe the weather here is too cold, I don't want to have errors every morning...

My cold is 5°F when I start to see light bulb error. But the error will go away after restarting the car. No biggie.

On another note, I broke a clip and a tab from each of the plastic covers that hide the torx screws. Is there a secret for putting these back in? They just don't want to go back in the same way they came out lol
So I just installed this set, and they threw a code. Also weird but my by radar detector which is tapped into my auto dimming mirror, doesn't work now.
Do you think they are connected or coincidence?
