Title: Rear LED owners question
Post by: Obbzi on 12 September 2014, 11:42

I have a set of Depot LED rear lights.

Do the OEM VW LED lights have LED indicators or are the bulbs?

My rear indicators are bulbs and I really want them to be LED but I have now tried numerous types and none have worked. They have either not worked, got dash error messages or they are too big to fit.

Has anyone managed to fit and LED replacement indicators if so what type and where from?

The genuine ones are just halogen bulbs.

Got these eventually from Bold-Sport

The Reversing Lamp (http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=337) still throws bulb out warnings, about once a week.

The Front Indicator bulbs  (http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=front&product_id=238)do not fit, too tight and I didn't want to force them,  even tried a spare headlight I had in the garage..

The Rear Indicators (http://www.bold-sport.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=221) seem OK but they flash when the car is turned on, cold diagnostic test.

I tried to contact Bold-Sport but they didn't seem interested, wouldn't recommend them.

Haven't had any issue with mine, only got the rear indicators, was aiming to get the fronts but they are out of stock.

I have a pair here if you want to try them yourself, I will post them to you and see what you think.

Do your rear indicators flash when you turn on your ignition ?

No flash from the rear when I turn on the ignition.

Have sent you a PM
