How to disable red markers on the sides of rear bumper
Hello, today I had the appointment for the registration of the car but it failed.
I live in Europe but my car was imported from California, MY2007
They didn't approve the red lights on the side of the rear bumper as these are illuminated, as soon I'll disable these it will be fine.
I know I could find the answer reading the documentation but I'm a bit in a rush... any suggestion?
a fuse to remove will be my preference otherwise I'll need to have access to remove the bulbs
thanks, Luca

simple reply: that's not possible. the bulbs need to be manually removed as the fuse #13 on passenger fusebox disables also the tail light
dirty job on winter condition but solvable in 20 minutes

what's the pro of such mod? just my curiosity
same applies to the reading lights. mine are quite bright and 'white'. why changing these?
I'm not at all against leds, I'm simply collecting info for the basket of lights I'm going to ask to Santa

reading various posts on the subject I've noticed that led light on the markers are less efficient than stock halogen bulbs?

So, I'm replacing anything incandescent with LEDs, but keeping the halogens as they are.
(And yes, I know that halogens are technically incandescent, too... but you know what I mean)

I think we are talking about two different things: the main headlights are halogens, but everything else (tail lights, side markers, indicators, interior lights....) are simple incandescent lights. LEDs can be MUCH brighter and draw less current than the normal incandescent bulbs at the same size, but I think the difference is less pronounced with the halogens.

Yes, sorry, you are correct - they are HID, of course, and I agree: I wouldn't change them, either...
