Did the bulb out light actually come on for a tag light? I could understand if it was some type of brake,park or signal bulb. What bulb part number did you install for your tag light? I would like to also change out the front turning signal bulbs with LED's but I'm not chopping and splicing my wires for a resistor. Squirrel Crusher

Mine were the parking corner lights in the headlights. I read another post where the guy just put electircal tape to cover the bulb sensor light.......is there any other way?

A mechanic friend of mine said if all the parking lights were changed to LED the circuit might correct itself? anyone know if this is true?

I was just waiting for Max to chime in with the right answer... and the link to purchase. You are the lighting guru.

Now if I can only figure out how to change the glovebox light.....

ok so i tried to install the ressistor i dont know what the heck went wrong long story short by the time i was done i couldnt get my dash or center console to light up took me half an hour to find the right fuse to change because youd be surprised how many different fuses have something to do with the instrument cluster i quit im living with the stupid bulb out indicator.!!!!
