LED License Plate Light for Volkswagen Golf 4 5 6 Polo Phaeton Canbus Error Free 12V

This LED license plate light is designed specifically for selected Volkswagen models including Golf 4, 5, and 6, Polo, and Phaeton. It addresses the common problem of dashboard warning lights after switching to LED bulbs by integrating a Canbus control unit and built-in load resistance. The result is a straightforward, error-free upgrade that improves the brightness and appearance of your number plate illumination. With a direct plug-and-play design, you can install it yourself without any wiring or modification, keeping the original housing intact. The 8000K xenon white light gives a modern, clean look while ensuring your plate remains clearly legible in all conditions.

Features and Construction

Each lamp is built with surface-mount LED technology and a reliable Canbus control unit, making it a practical replacement for factory incandescent bulbs. The construction focuses on ease of use and long-term reliability.

Material and Build

The lamp body houses 24 super bright SMD 3528 LEDs alongside a 2835 LED source, all running at 12 volts with a 5-watt power draw and 0.5-amp current. The built-in load resistance prevents OBC error codes, and the original shell remains undamaged during installation. The LEDs are rated for a lifespan of 500,000 hours, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
