Title: LED interior full
Post by: jonesltd on 05 January 2013, 18:56

What's the best bulbs to get for full led replacement?

Looking at these on eBay 180952629804

Also want to replace my bulbs for exterior in headlights to whiter what's the best bulbs? Seems the side lights are yellowish and the actual night lights are white just looks crap as lights are set to auto and yellow tint appears during day and night :(

yeah I agree that the yellow in the lights is not a good look at all  :sad:

The interior lights look pretty good from where im sitting, i tried searching for some a few weeks ago and didnt come across many, so yeah I may just be investing in those also.

For the exterior bulbs im going for these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H7-6000K-HID-ULTRA-SLIM-BALLAST-Xenon-Conversion-KIT-VW-II-/140754267727?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AVW&hash=item20c59bae4f they wont give off a blue shine (which I hate) but a nice white light. But I'd Rather have the bi-xenons from the factory  :cry:

Won't they trigger the bulb failure warning?
There is no mention of then being CAN Bus compatible.

If you are only replacing interior bulbs (as per the subject line) you don't need to worry about any error thrown up as these aren't monitored by the car.

If you search ebay for w5w LED you will find them a lot cheaper than the price of the ones you've listed.

It was a few years ago that I changed mine but I can't remember any festoon types but then I never got round to changing the footwells.

I thought there was a thread on here that listed all the bulbs required for footwells
, boot etc. I have tried searching but can't find it now. That would have helped.

Yeah they look identical to the factory drl's, but without the £300 price tag that comes with it.

Is there any sort of programming that you would have to do? and when do they come on, dim lights or are they always on?
