LED bulbs

[Bubba]

Hi guys I am wanting to replace my normal bulbs in my brake lights with LED ones as yet I haven't taken the rear lights out to have a look at them but can I ask what would be better white leds in the red light cluster? Or red leds? Cheers

Led and audi dont get along . Especialy any audi from 2004 - 2011. Problem is with hard coded fault checking and hyperflash that cannot be switched off. Basicly the car sends current every 30 sec and reads out resistance. With led resistance being so low comparing to standard bulbs car thinks bulbs are faulty showing errors. Also the current couses led to flash every few minutes . Canbus led works on some audis and most times it dosent . Also adding resistors helps but then need to be minimum 50ohm.
