just replace the sidelight bulbs with LED white bulbs, thats what i did.  :wink:

If you have proper LEDs, then you should constantly get a 'bulb out' warning - unless you have somehow VAGCOMed it out?  :undecided:

Some LED lights now come with resistors built in, although I've yet to find some :sad:

Nice! :cool:

Are they plug and play?

Not quite plug and play, plus you'll need to swap the motor for the headlight adjustment. :smiley:

LEDs turned up this morning, had a quick look at them, do they just plug in? They dont look like they will fit! Will have a proper look later

they fit, albeit tightly, but do not illuminate.
