I'm replacing all the driving bulbs I can with CREE's and have found that the fogs are going to take some cutting to fit and the high beams wont click in but I have made clips for that but I'm coming up blank on my cornering bulbs , no matter which way I plug them in they wont work and I get a general communication fault on them when I read the faults , any thoughts gentlemen ? 2008 MY Supercharged

Not wanting to state the obvious... but have you checked the bulb off the car, just to rule out a dud? And I wonder if they are wired up the same way that the rear fogs are... cos they follow no logic and require a box of tricks to make them work on the rear when an LED conversion is done |

They do work because I have tried them in the fog lights , that's how I know they don't fit |

So if the "going around the bend" lights work with normal incandescent bulbs, I would suggest that you add some ballast resistors to increase the load on the circuit... there might not be enough load to activate the lights.. bit like LED's on a trailer, some work perfectly.. others cause all sorts of havoc, and the difference is the amount of load that they impose on the circuit |
