the sidelight for a MK4 with twin halogen headlights is;

W5W 12v 5 Watt (what you've linked to)

Dipped is H7 55 Watt

Main H1 55 Watt

For those with xenon

sidelight H6W

Dipped D2S 35 Watt

Main H7 55 Watt

do thay look chavy?? :grin:

I'm a chav too, in that case, then!!! :grin:

They omit white light, BTW. :wink:

If you spend over a tenner (i.e. on some H7's), you'll get those sidelights thrown in for free, anyway! :cool:
