Rear LED lights in a 2005 997 C2

I'm trying to let the rear LED lights function correct in a 2005 997 C2.

I changed the rear and front module to the gen 2 modules and changed the indicator lights settings in the front module to LED with the Durametric tool.

Now the indicator- and brake-lights work fine, but only the right rear tail light works! the left one will only blink for a second, the same story for the fog light (tail-, fog- and brake-light gives error in the instrument cluster, the indicator lights doesn't give a error)

I can't find the parameter to make the switch from bulb to led (except the for the indicators)

Already visit a Porsche dealer but they couldn't help me further.

Can some one please help me to get the job done, I don't want to work with resistors!

Regards,

Edwin

Did you change the front lights to the newer style too?

No, I only did the rear lights.
Put some resistors between the wires: 50 watt 4,7 ohm for the brake, 25 watt 10 ohm for the fog and 10 watt 15 ohm for rear lights, still got the errors!

Then put the old rear module back and the errors are gone and lights works fine now, except for the reverse lights because I didn't put a resistor there.

I'm still want the job done without resistors! anyone?

When we offer this kit, we only sell the rear control unit. There's no need to replace the front control unit, that could be why you're having the issues.
