X250 - Canbus on headlights?

[almichie]

Just a quick question on headlamp failure on the Fiat x250 (2012); do they detect lamp failures via canbus? I would like to upgrade to LED…

Thanks

Yes the bulb failure system works via the Canbus. Providing you buy Leds suitable for Canbus it will be OK.
Myself and quite a few other Funsters used Katur ones from Amazon. Mine are in Hela projector lamps and some of the other have fitted them in x290's. Don't think anyone's fitted them in x250, sometimes they don't work very well in reflector lamps so buy them from Amazon or somewhere where returns are easy.

Here is the thread on them.

LED H7 headlight bulbs upgrade - impressed (so far)

Before I start, I know that most LED bulbs are not e-marked, and they work much better in general with projector headlamps rather than the old fashioned reflector headlamps that are fitted to Fiat Ducatos. I have fitted these knowing that they aren’t authorised for road use, so please don’t...

Lenny that link won't work as it is to your previous orders, not the LEDs
