new drl led light stop working

Hi. I bought a pair of p13w led lights as my drl lights. They has stopped working after few minutes and check drl lights came on. I have european version of camaro and I have read that some euro cars need canbus error free led. Or where is the problem?
Thank you.

At the euro camaro the body control modul (BCM) checks the drl's an some other bulbs. you can't programming the BCM. The only thing you can do, is to mock the bcm with resistors. Then you don't have any error warnings in dash when LED's installed.

The production bulbs are the same in Europe as they are in the US. Do the production bulbs still work if you plug them back in? That will tell you if there is a bulb problem or if it is something else.

Bulbs have a bigger built-in resistor as LED. The BCM means with LED they are broken. This is why you need additional resistors to the LED.
