Just send them back they are junk.
I don't know why they go on about CANBUS, the CANBUS has nothing to do with bulb fault detection or warning, it is done by measuring current draw.
That means you need to be pulling pretty much the original 5 Watts which is not really plausible from LEDs on something that would fit in that tiny hole.

ok so what do you use to get the xenon look on the sidelight.

Philips Blue Vision Ultra W5W or Osram Cool Blue Intense W5W are your best choices. Forget LED and stick with simple incandescent.

ok which is the best Philips or osram

If I were to buy some now, I'd go with the Osram
