I can't deactivate mine with the indicator stalk ever since I had the rear LEDs installed. Mr.P had such a problem getting all the lights to work properly. (My car is BW8/9, mike.'s BW7 and they are both slightly different as Mike did not have the problems Mr.P had with mine. I think there were a few changes BW8/9 onwards. Wierd.)

Sorry for the thread revival, pick up mk6 tuesday after 2 mk5's and returning to halogen headlights from xenons. Whats the best combo for the front then?

Nightbreakers and some white 501's for sidelights? Are puddlelights still 501 - prob makes sense to change them as well?

What about number plate lights. I fitted the mk6 led ones to the mk5 and they looked great but didn't think this could be done to mk6 due to canbus check? Its a 59 plate car.

Thanks

You can fit the LED number plate lights by fitting a resistor inline to stop the bulb out warning, these are available from Kufatec as well as ebay etc.

You can see from this thread the bulbs i have and they're quite good tbh but your going to be seriously dissapointed coming from xenons! :sick:
