Resolució de problemes

If you encounter issues after installing your Philips Ultinon Essential LED fog lights, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Dashboard Warnings or Flickering: Some vehicle CANbus (Controller Area Network bus) systems are designed to detect the power consumption of traditional halogen bulbs. LED bulbs consume less power, which can lead the CANbus system to interpret them as burned-out bulbs. This may trigger dashboard warning lights (e.g., 'bulb out' warning) or cause the LED lights to flicker.
• Solució: To resolve CANbus-related issues, install a Philips LED CANbus adapter. These adapters are specifically designed to ensure smooth functioning by mimicking the electrical load of a halogen bulb, preventing warnings and flickering. Installation of these adapters is typically straightforward and takes only a few minutes. Philips CANbus adapters feature waterproof connectors for optimal performance in various conditions.
