I reset mine with a 6 inch piece of wire and inline fuse.

I got mine done at the mechanics when he serviced my car - isn't that the idea of these lights? :wink:

Probably too late for me to be asking this, but is there any way of resetting the lights if the diagnostic plug's not installed anymore? :mad:

May be only Ԛ£14.99, but that's still about Ԛ£14.98 more than my piece of wire!

Yes, if you can find the appropriate wire. It's a white/green wire on pin 11 of the C101.
