I have got a mate who is trying to get himself going with importing carbon, lights and some other stuff. At the moment it looks like my car is going to be a bit of a marketing tool for the mk5 stuff. He gave me a full set of LED's for it yesterday, fitted them yesterday to everything. They are fantastic, really bright and crystal white (he has got all colours to chose from). He is looking at putting a conversion set together for all cars, would there be any interest from you guys for around £30?? They are canbus so no error messages on the dash.
I will get some pictures up later once it has gone dark.
He is also doing me carbon pillars on the doors (the bit between the windows) if people are interested in them?? Not sure on prices yet, but he will have his website up soon for all to view.

Not the best but you get the idea. They light up the floor on all the exterior ones and the interior is as if is light outside still.

Sure are mate.. No error messages on the dash :-)

Are the mk6 bulbs the same as the mk5 and are the number plate lights the clip in units or just bulbs?
-
I would presume they will be the same mate yeah.. I can have a look at a mates if you want?? Number plate are the units with a Phillips screw holding it in and then they come out with the assistance of a flat head - if that helps.
-
100% up for a full set of these for my mk6, I would be amazed if they were different to the mk5 too.
I would want red for the footwell lights though.
Let us know when we can order :cool:

I am sure he will sort you straight away if you want?? I will speak to him today for you.
It is up to you guys, I can check a mates mk6 if you want or you can just ask for the same as the mk5, and if some are wrong we can't sort some thing??
He is also setting up for some carbon stuff for all cars too if any one wants it...??
-
Yes if you would please check against your friends mk6 for fitment that would be appreciated, but I would like a full set. :smiley:
Just picked ths detail up from anther thread in the MK6 forum.
I changed all my interior bulbs for white LEDs when I first got my car. I actually did a How To on the rforum - but I've accidentally deleted all my photobucket pictures, so it's pretty pointless now.
2 x 501 in overhead light
3 x 501 in rear overhead light.
1 x 501 in each footwell
1 x 501 in glove box
1 x festoon in each vanity mirror
There's also 1 x 501 in each wing mirror that I've never got round to changing as I was scared I broke the glass when taking it off!

2 Sides, 2 number plate, 6 interior, 2 vanity, 1 glove box, 2 puddle, 1 boot, 2 footwell all in for £24.
