I installed those 7ish months back.

They work as expected and no dash error
After like a month I got a bulb out error, rear fogs left and right, so I added resistors and the error disappeared and then after like 2-3 weeks it started to show only for the left rear fog, I replaced the resistor and few days after that, again left fog bulb out error.

Now this happens only on cold starts, and it disappears if I moved the light switch from auto position to switch on the lights manually.

Anyone can give me any ideas.

I was able to disable the cold diag for the front fogs via VCDS but can’t find a way for the rear.

Higher resistors? probably burning them out if new ones temporarily solve the problem?

They r the 21W bulbs. I’m using the 50 W resistors.
