You don't need them.... Golf R has uber cool real LED strips for the front indicators  :whistle: :rolleyes: unless you mean for the reversing lights....

For all those that have ordered the less bright LED's & thinking of sending them back, these bulbs also fit the rear reverse lights. So I have just used these to complete the full LED effect.

Will check the brightness comparison at night when it gets dark.

Thanks to Monsta for finding the bulb types  :wink:

Great news, I will keep the the dimmer ones for the reversing lights and buy a set of the brighter ones for the front indicators.  :smiley:

Hi guys,
Come to change my glovebox light for a LED and it's different to the vanity mirror lights.
This is a little Toshiba bulb rather than a mini-tube. Contacts are on one side only.
Any idea?

They don't look as bright as the normal bulbs though?

Because the LED's give whiter light than the standard yellow halogen it's harder to pick up in the pic during the day, night pic below. I think there fine & look much better, completing the LED look.

Ok looks good, might order a set. What about the indicators, you won't be able to photo them well no doubt but can you tell any difference or is it just to complete the ledness?
