Ошибка check license plate lighting

I got 2016 MK7 GTI SE, 2 doors and I am trying to install my
license plate light to LED lights.

I got $50 license plate light from ECS Tuning,
https://www.ecstuning.com/ES2859317/

which is this one and their harness don’t even fit my car…..

The light bulbs are working so fine but the thing is I am getting

the warning signal on my dashboard ‘check the license plate light’

I guess that is all from not connecting the harness with light bulbs?

Should I just ask nearby car shop or auto repair center to get my

license plates light done? I don’t think there are lots of LED lights for

2016 Golf GTI because its brand new model.

What should I do about this?

(Sorry for my awful English, I’m not a native)

Return them and get the LEDs from deautokey

2x this.
And if any issues(likely none) they will help.
In my build thread I have info on my deautokey LED installs.
I have all but the tail lights.
One day.

wellcc: Hi —

first: there is nothing wrong with your English — it’s very good.
second: You appear to have a genuine problem that deserves a proper response: rather than being a tool to sell you another brand of fitting — notwithstanding that this may be a solution (which I’m sure was Deautokey’s motive for their sincere response)

OK- now to your problem: IMO, you should certainly seek additional advice from the supplier- especially if the LED is sold as a plug-and-play fitting.
If you don’t get any satisfaction, you could try spending more money on the superior fittings that Deautokey sell (I can’t vouch for Deautokey’s claims — these LEDS are not available down here)
However, if you want to persist with the original esctuning unit and you can find a forum colleague with a VCDS cable, or a VCP cable, or an OBDeleven dongle, then there is a simple tweak that could solve your ptoblem.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand what I’m about to say, the cable owner will understand: Go to the BCM (address hex09) and enter the security number 31347. Then find adaptation channel (1)-Leuchte25KZL HA59-Lasttyp 25. Likely the setting for this channel will be 18 — 2* 5W.
Change the setting to 43 — allgemeine LED (this is the setting that VW uses in their factory fitted LED license plate lamps)

We gave a proper response.
This happens with other LED products.
Our instructions to return the LED and then buy a better one is the best advise in the long run. Had he asked before we could have saved him the time.
Deautoled makes good products. They work!
Might cost more but for good product most of us will pay.
No, I do not work for deautoled and yes it was the best response.

Thanks for your input.
Accurate and to the point as ever.

Hi all, I changed my license plate bulb after one fried to leds and have the persistent check light warning still. So it seems US cars have non-led oem lights? I’m out of San Antonio, if anyone on here happens to be nearby with the above referenced interface/hardware to switch my ecu to led support I’d gladly buy you a sammich or so for your time

This might help you find someone close.

Curious as to why someone chooses to make their plate easier to read.

Wasn’t really a concern for me, i just wanted a replacement and didn’t know until afterwards that virtually all of the easily available replacements were of the led type instead of incandescent and that it made a difference. I ended up finding a few standard us ones off the part number but annoyed at re-buying a part. It’s
1k8 943 021 and one of them cost as much as or more than most dual led sets.
