I recently replaced the PY21Y incandescent (brown) DRLs for these LED-based luminaires....

The result is superb, the lumens rating of these is better than new PY21W bulbs and they are just the right type of white, not ricey at all.
The only problem is I get a bulb warning on the DIS.
I have spent a long time playing with Central Electronics coding in VCDS to no avail. The options are to :
1) Remove the luminaries and try and squeeze a resistor and capacitor into them to fool the bulb test.
2) Find a coding or something with VCDS that disables the bulb warning,
3) I can code it for factory LED DRLs, if I do this, the sidelights then light up instead of the DRLS, they even dim at night for the LED to act as sidelights, and wink when indicating so that the LEDs don't mask the indicators. I would then somehow have to power the DRLs from the sidelight feed.
3 is my favourite option.
I hope I can swap the pins in a connector somewhere so that DRL and sidelights are swapped over, the sidelights then become redundant and the LEDs perform the function of both.
Has anyone done similar or have thoughts?
