V and W is way different you guys, Yes the LED's are rated for the appropriate voltage and yes the other bulb is rated for the same voltage, however W (watts) indicates the resistance or power draw from the system if the audi system recognizes a short and has been programed to read a variable wattage range from 11-13 watts and anything below that spectrum is a fault. So what you need to do for an LED is put in a resistor so it draws more power from the system and as soon as an LED burns out being at 4.5W you still have your inline resistor which will in most cases give out as well, and if it doesent it takes you from your potential 12W down to 7.5W of resistance which causes a fault an d aresitor overload and burns out :) So basically you need to add a resistor or short the sensor and you wont get the warning

From how it was explained to me from 42DD, it was a voltage problem. It sounds to me now that they may not even be looking in the right place then!
ON a side note, I always wondered why we were the only country with daytime running lights. I didn't realize the rest of the world shipped it due to fuel consumption:

where can i get a resistor or short the sensor, and how do i add it on? Im using a 1156 plug right now for the LED Bulb DRL. Thanks mate
