Hi 6speed family,

Was wondering if anyone here has the, "Check rear fog light" error after they installed Rotec's DRL's. I searched the forums and read 19 pages but no one has the same error as me, only the "Check front side light" error, not sure if it's the same issue. I brought these lights from a forum member, looks great, everything works but I get the annoying error. Help is appreciated.

TIA.

 

You installed front DRL's and the rear is giving you this error? You may need to install the resistor to prevent this. I have the front and I get an error for the right front...but I think it's a connection issue I cannot figure out because I switch them out and I don't get an error. Get a hold of Rey at ROTech and see if he can help you. I'm using the DEPO brand rear's, which are similar to theirs and I have not gotten an error.

 

Yes, that is correct, installed the front and getting a rear light error. I might email Ray, thought I asked the forum first. I also have the LED rears if that helps. I didn't need resistors before, maybe I need them now. I rather put resistors in the back, they were much easier to get to. Thanks for the reply.

 

I'm no expert..but that is weird for the back to give an error AFTER the install of the front! That's a new one!!

 

Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird myself. I had the rear LED's for a long time before I installed my DRL's. I didn't notice the error until I turned on the engine. It was fine when I tested it (engine off). I think I might the resistors in the box still but never used it.

 

I only get an error on the passenger side and when I switched them no error. However it only happens while the car in in motion. When I switched them out left to right and right to left, turned on all the lights...no error...only when moving. So this makes me think there is a connection issue I'm having, but I cannot nail it down. Also, it only happens when my lights are on..when the switch is in the home position the error doesn't come up.

I installed the ROTech resistor's but didn't resolve anything.

WEIRD.

 

Update, I installed the resistors they came with the rear LED's and the error went away, drove around and the error never came back.

Here is a couple of quick shots I took, when I got home.

 

I think i'm having the same issue, i installed both almost at the same time, only an hour apart, but now i'm thinking the error only came on after i installed the front DRL...

 

I am having the same problem with a 997 that i just bought. It has the gt3 front bumper and LED turn signals on the front, and LED tail lights. I don't know if the resistors were installed by the previous owner. Where can i find the resistors that you guys are talking about, and where do they go? I assume i just need to solder them in somewhere?
