Ok Adrian, will do :)
I'm toying with the idea of getting them myself aswell, instead of putting in more cash for non-led versions, just don't know if my central electrics will accept them with it being 09?

Mines a 59 - late 09 build so should be ok but not sure how I check!? Chassis No.

Can your mate not use your chassis number to help you find out If your electrics are compatible?

Hmmm, I guess you could be the tester haha :P
I'd really like the LED versions, look sweet on my mum's GTI :(

Can't you 'borrow' one to try it. They swap out pretty quickly - you'd just need the connector(s)?

Can you buy the whole connector made up from VW?
And don't they need to be coded in via VCDS due to bulb out warnings?

In theory, couldn't I just use the pre-made connectors from my mum's GTI?
I'm gonna have a look tomorrow, you've tempted me! Even if they work and I have to drive with bulb out warning on I'll be happy, but I'm pretty sure the car will cut power to them :(

I understand that the connectors are different hence the need to make these new connector leads which have one enc old type and the other end new type?
