| Headlight/break light bulb and suspension fault codes |
|
Hi,
Has anyone else had a suspension fault code showing on the driver display screen temporarily, but the suspension all working fine, then to find that a headlight or break/sidelight bulb has blown?

It can happen also if the BLS is faulty or starting to show symptoms.

I was thinking that - so I’ve got a new BLS stashed in the boot in case I need to change it!
Is there anything else that could cause the same thing?

If you fill in your car details in your profile, it may help in getting faults sorted .

I had all sorts of problems with the LED bulbs the previous owner had fitted and tried to run! 
I usually use Ring automotive bulbs, will the D3 be ok with these?

Ideally you should use halogens if you have the original D3 rear lights. 
If you want leds, get the D4 rears. You will need to add resistors unless already fitted.
