Volkswagen Phaeton Upgraded LEDS with Computor Error problem
Volkswagen Phaeton is a very luxury car in VW family, but the outlook is not very special, or we can say it is very normal so that many people take it for new Passat. In China, Many public servant drive a Phaeton but change the logo on the rear into Passat to hide their wealth and corruption. But it looks strange because the Passat is smaller much on size.
For Volkswagen cars modification, we usually meet CANbus problem. Like LED headlight, it’s very popular now on the market. But we are hard to find a 100% fit LED headlight conversion to VW cars. In the majority of cases, we will meet computer error(CANBus problem), or the bulbs can’t fit to the headlamp because lack of a adaptors. And for the other exterior lights, we may need to connect the resistor to the bulbs while we install it. Because VW cars have a serious electronic inspect system to every single electronic component on his car. If the working power don’t reach their demand, the computer will alarm and tell you that your component is broken. Resistor can help to improve the working power, cheat to the CANbus system. But it is being complicated to connect resistor, and sometimes the led bulbs will still burn because of bad quality and high working temperature. So we suggest you to use PHILIPS and Osram halogen bulbs to replace your stock one. It won’t have any CANBus problem, simple installation, nice quality. Although it will be being dimmed after 2 or 3 years of use, you can modify again as it is not that complicated.
But for interior light, led lights is better than halogen bulbs. VW cars don’t have a very high working power standard to interior light, which offer the market to led bulbs. Normally CANbus led bulbs can work well on the interior light without computer error problem . That while we choose led lights, it can be much bright, good color temperature, saving power and longer life span. And if your family like reading in the car. LED lights could protect your eyes. So here I modify all my interior light into LEDs. You can see it looks upgraded and better. I love this pure white color, just like our desk lamp, looks comfortable.
