turn off rear license plate lights

taranonline · 05-03-2012, 10:59 AM

Hi

Any one figure out to turn off rear license plate lights??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

icucCoding · 05-03-2012, 11:20 AM

Do you want to turn them off permanently or with welcome lights?

taranonline · 05-03-2012, 11:46 AM

permanently

icucCoding · 05-03-2012, 12:59 PM

I'm not sure and not tested.

Try to change PWM_KZL to something else. I think, the default is wert_04. Play with KZL values for license plates.

The other option, take the bulbs off and turn off the bulb checks(cold/warm tests).

I hope it is not illegal in India. In US, you need the license plate lights on at night else you get a warning and ticket.

Hey buddy

None of those worked!!

Why don't you just take the bulb out or disconnect it?

1QuikWS6 · 05-04-2012, 03:50 AM

Unplug the lights and code out the cold/warm checks and error reporting...

taranonline · 05-04-2012, 08:27 AM

Im planning black vinyl them, what you say guys??

Or just unplug??

icucCoding · 05-04-2012, 08:43 AM

If you have time, just find out which value would turn them off so it would help others to disable the license plate lights.

otherwise just take off the bulbs and disable the bulb checks.

taranonline · 05-04-2012, 10:43 AM

Can you please post the codes for bulb check?

Thanks bro

Find KZL in any function that starts with WARMUE and KALTUE and make them nicht_aktiv.

nitehawk · 05-04-2012, 01:19 PM

^ Yup, to be more specific, set these to nicht_aktiv:
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_KZL
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_KZL
FEHLERMELDUNG_CC_KZL

icucCoding · 05-04-2012, 02:02 PM

Yeah.. I have seen couple of different values and some of them will end with KZL_LI.

so these three values will turn off all bulb errors all around the car?

No, license plates only...

taranonline · 05-08-2012, 09:55 PM

I just plugged out the lights, no coding necessary, no errors. My car didnt have the above three values.

BPMSport · 05-12-2012, 03:46 PM

Every car should have PWM values for KZL..

Simply set the hex values to 0 via nettodat coding and they should not be illuminated anymore.
