It's a good job that your sidelights don't flash then  :wink: :laugh:

Apoligies for my less than useful first post! As Danny said you can use them in your sidelights (i'm using them at the moment without any issues), I believe that they will also fit in you rear number plate lights  :smiley:

Those look like they push, twist and lock in whereas on my 96 16v I've just replaced the rear number plate bulbs to LEDs using 501 W5W. They just push in. Maybe some Golfs are different? Best thing to check whats on your car.

Yup, your both right, the bayonet ones won't fit! I just didn't look at the pic properly and thought that they were 501's!  :embarassed:

I'm now going to shut up and stop posting in this thread!  :grin:
