I bought some number plate light bums said error free canbus etc and did same thing. Put them in my mates older a3 and worked fine.
same with mine, I ended up installing some resistors. It's weird because I put the same bulbs in my dads mk6 golf and there were no errors/flashing/shutting down of the bulbs. I think some cars are more sensitive than others

I ordered a set of these to go with my diamond vision bulbs, fitted the passenger side first checked it worked before pushing it back into the light housing, forgot to check the drivers side and sods law it was faulty and didn't work , went to take it out and the led got caught and fell out into the light housing behind the lens so how am i going to get it out.I've ordered another set from t8ups as the yellow sides light look awful with the diamond vision.

Damned unlucky fella, have you got a link to the diamond vision. I have Osram nightbreakers and they are great but now the led sidelight bulbs make them look dull 
, lol there's always something.

you could try one of those extendable bendy magnet things that mechanics use to retrive dropped bolts etc
i cant even get my hand in there to pull the old ones out

Must say the difference is incredible worth every penny they really show up how yellow all the other bulbs are .
Jonny yes that's what i thought i have a mate who owns several garages so ill pay him a visit later only problem i have is if i can see the bulb as it's floating around in the headlight one second its there go for a drive and it gone lol
As for fitting the headlights are easy now, the sides are a little more difficult i'm 6ft and 15 stone so not small either but after alot of swearing i worked out how twist my way in so there not to bad to change now .

I did exactl the same thing...!!
Initially I thought.... I'm gonna have to take the headlight unit off to get it out!
But then thought of this.....
Just use a length of wire, with the end bent into a hook shape.... then start "fishing" inside the housing until you can drag it to the back of the housing, where you can pick it up!
