Found these, reviews sound good  :smiley:

I'm still confused by bulbs types etc.  Can these LED's be used in a normal lighting set up i.e. not Xenons?


Cheers,


Jim

If the LED's are w5w fitment then they can be used as sidelights etc in the golf but they will often cause a "bulb out" on the dash that will need to be coded out, It's for this reason i'm just going for a whiter halogen replacement.

I have those, the car just turned them off when fitted as no resistors, used them in the puddle lights instead.
I took them out when I sold it.

If anyone wants to try them just drop me a PM and I will post them and then if you like them make me an offer  :smiley:

While I don't use the front fogs very often I didn't like the yellow light against the xenon's and LED DRL's so sorted this today  :smiley:

I thought yellow light was suppose to be better in fog than white?  :undecided: I hate my xenons in the fog.
