I am running OEM HID with LED running lights, and have the 5K0-xxx-xxx-T BCM on my 2013 JSW. I can also confirm that there are no errors using the OEM VW LED License plate lights with the above procedure.

I tried putting White LEDs in my reverse lights, got bulb errors. Mine is a 2013 MK6 Golf TDI W/Tech.
Is there a vag-com setting to remedy this? THanks!!

What software version of the BCM do you guys have who have successfully installed LED license plate lights with no "bulb out" and without any additional resistors?

Mine: Component: BCM PQ35 M 103 0615

Hi
From feedback it works on models from + 2011 (Superbs,sciroccos,passats and some late models of the Octavia and Golf)
All models from 2012 seem to work and it seems that models with BCM 5K0 it works
My BCM as mine is 1K0 and a 2010 model so it doesn´t work
This is very recent as it comes on the latest vcds

Just wanted to say that this is confirmed NOT to work on SW 0615 with module 1K0 937 086 H. MY2011. I still got the "Check license plate bulbs" or similar error along with the 'bulb-is-out' icon on the dash :( :( :(

For sale: a pair of OEM/genuine 1K8-943-021-C license plate lights. PM me.
