They have changed and I have decided to give the SMTII 9 LED Canbus a try. I was told that the Plastice Base will still fit the Socket and are the same Error Free LEDs.

We haven't had problems with the Puddle and Trunk LEDs throwing Code and I'm not sure that they would. The Error Codes were comming from City Lights and Fog Lights with some LEDs. You would see the Symble on your Dash if there was a Code Thrown.

Well I guess you can't return them since you've altered the Strips.

My LEDs do not Touch the Foil and I wouldn't bother using the Sticker Mirror. I'd just let it go and call it a Day. Good luck & laters,
