Hey,
I'm sure this has come up before and i have done a few searches but wanted to share my experience and see if anyone knows the solution

I've managed to get the front indicators switched over to LEDs by drilling 2 tiny holes for + and - into the bulb holder and feeding in LED resistors into the bulb housing and securing them inside, then cable tying the outer parts to nearby components - this leaves the actual LED resistor free floating as it gets very hot

The REAR sets are causing a headache. Similar to the TT i had previously there is no pos/neg wiring that i know of to tap resistors into. I've tested a few different methods by following the metal from the indicator socket to the main wiring loom connector, splicing here and there, even directly attaching resistors to the metal runners themselves but my resistors aren't being picked up and i'm still getting the bulb warning. I have a wide variety of LED bulbs from various cars as this is a mod i usually do and can't figure this one out (i also failed on the TT i had)

Anyone sucessfully added LED indicators to rear Ibiza (2013) and removed bulb warning?

There is talk of VCDS coding to ignore cold/warm bulb warnings, i have VCDS and these settings aren't apparent to me, nor were they on the TT.

Any help appreciated

Thanks!
