Review on Yifengshun 1156 LED Bulbs: Brilliant 3000 Lumens Red Brake Stop Lights for Car, RV, Trailer, Camper - 2PCS by Shane Sanchez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Canbus failure in 2015 VW Jetta TDI SEL

I'm surprised I didn't get banned for all the returns I've made for other bulbs. I've tried all the highly rated lamps, only got error messages. I thought those pears were ok. I disabled the lamp check in the computer via VAGCOM for all the lamps I tried. BUT the left bulb will make the dash turn signal flash quickly, the right side is ok. Both flash outward normally and at normal speed. So a fast internal flashing on the dashboard gauge is a warning of a blown bulb, even if the blown bulb check in VAGCOM is disabled for that lighting set and the small orange indicator is off. These bulbs are bright and I want them to work perfectly. But on a previous order of the same bulbs my left horn also flashed rapidly, I swapped out the stern bulb and a rapid flash ensued. Contacted the seller and he returned the order with no fuss. I have reordered another set of these lamps and the same thing. This tells me that the bulb-to-bulb impedance is not consistent because my right bulb of the same make/model is fine and won't turn on the fast turn signal when the dash flashes. My final option is to go into the computer and turn off the Check All Lightbulbs feature. I don't really want to, but it's okay. I mean we didn't have bulb tests on our cars from the 80's and later and we did really well. Will probably return them and try the Zevo as a last resort. If they don't work, go back to regular turn signal bulbs. All other lamps produced errors of the same caliber. Why can't cars be smarter, or at least let us change the bulb's parameters so it knows it's a good bulb?

Pros
  • Relay
Cons
  • Not the best
