The description says, "NO ERROR"; I assume that means they will not trip the 'lamp out' light. I do not have the lights and have not tested them to see if they do or don't trip the 'lamp out' light. If you're not sure of this, you should ask the seller what is meant by "NO ERROR".

I’ll let you know for sure as I ordered them.
I saw that Dave, my question was for the second listing. I knew that first listing had two in the auction. Am thinking of getting a set for the rear deck hatch (inside).

Good catch, yeah everyone will have to ask if 'no error' means will not trip the bulb out dash pod lamp. Still point out they cost 2 bucks more though.

Hopefully, someone reading this thread will ask that question and Shar the answer with us. I think the question should start with, "What is the meaning..." instead of "Does 'NO ERROR' mean...". The latter question is too easy to answer with, "Yes". I have had occasional difficulties communicating with sellers whose primary language is Cantonese or Mandarin.

I think that no matter the price they are the same basic part. I have purchased them before, $10 and I got two. I used them in the trunk, so no clue if they would set the error code light but these parts were used for some years here and not one word of a problem with them.

Anyone know the 2 watt & the 1.5 watt bulb type for the instrument panel? Led match?

Ok, strange problem just occurred, went to start the xfire (9:50pm est) to move car from front lawn to driveway and I turned the headlights on and instrument cluster is dim, I turn to the European light and nothing comes on including the instrument cluster. WTH...

It is when you turn the switch to the left.

Problem resolved, seems my mechanic when he was fiddling with the TPMS, touch the **** by the odometer and dim the instrument cluster lights mine you now since the COVID, we have not driven at night and would not have noticed it in the daytime. Whew, what a relief as I thought the bulb had gone out in the instrument cluster.
