    First things first Jon: it's "solder", not "soder"!

    Second, did putting the resistor there only clear up the error code for the license plate bulbs, or did it clear up the codes for all of your rear bulb issues?

    Re: DIS errors with LED tails?

    your voltage drop across the supplied voltage and led forward voltage shouldn't be that drastic, but a 25 watt resistor shouldnt get hot at all.

    Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

    Odd, i use LED licence plate bulbs and don't get any errors. I did put resistors in for the led taillights tho.

    First off: "Fuck you" second, "Fuck you!"

    The resistor is only wire inline for the lic plate bulbs, the other rear bulbs are on a sep harness. If you are having LED tails you could wire a larger resistor inline there as well!
