Well others report they work ok? I guess you have a faulty set just? (I Hope)

got mine and they dont work!  :-(

do they defo work in Mk5's?

That pic shows them working on my Mk5 R32

they fit, albeit tightly, but do not illuminate.

I ordered mine they should be here today. They had better fit lol.

Try swapping them around and have you definitely swapped the sidelights and not the indicators?

Defo sides, as I had previously swapped them for blue W5W's when I put the osrams in. Both don't work.

Take one out of its holder, swap it around then do the same in the other holder, when you swap the bulbs don't do it with the key in the ignition

I dont see why that would make any difference?

Got mine yesteday. They are no different from the Philips BlueVision sidelights in terms of their output.  I had one of these LEDs in on the left sidelight and the Philips BlueVision on the right. They are both the same. I was hoping the LEDs would be a lot brighter but they are not.

So, if you want rid of your yellow sidelights get these LEDs or the Philips BlueVision W5Ws. Good news is both products produce a nice crisp white!

They have to be of the correct polarity to work.

Well I already tried both, both ways round, with and without ignition. Must be faulty
