Will LEDs work in MK3 lights?

I don't care haha!

Anyways, will LEDs work in "normal" MK3 lights or do the lights need to be specific MK3 LED ones?!

what lights we talking here? headlights, dash lights? both have been coverd loads. Dec runs led's in his side ligths(and weird lights) and the simple answer is any led bulb with correct connector can be used. not sure on their legality though..

Sorry, I meant rear lights, as mine are totally black (smoked) so the normal bulbs do not appear bright enough

Get some from ultraleds.co.uk.

Look for the 4 and 6w ones. eBay ones are sh!t.

Bit fiddly in the car.

I however can adjust them on the car and change bulbs a bit easier then most. :smug:

I won't go on about why lol.
