I can see the front side lights have been changed to LED.

Thanks for your replies - Yes, you're right they have been changed before my ownership. I'll swap them out for original spec Gavin

No need to go back to the old bulbs cos LEDs are far better. Its the cold monitoring of the bulbs that throws up the error because the LEDs don't offer the same resistance as a normal bulb so thge system thinks the bulb has popped. If you've got an IID you can turn off the cold monitoring which will stop the error messages. The only drawback is you'll have to go back to the good old days and do a walk around check of your lights every now and then to confirm they are all still working. |

Thanks for all your replies. I took out the sidelight bulbs and they were indeed LED -

If you want to use led bulbs buy good quality canbus error free bulbs and you won’t have any bother.

Agreed. To be honest, just ditch the idea of any LED exterior lighting because the car's CANBUS system is so sensitive, even high end error free bulbs will cause errors sometimes.
