Rear Number plate bulbs
« on: 14 December 2011, 16:35 »
Brought them a few months ago and looking good BUT now one has gone and other one is having its own private disco (continually flashing) brought of ebay for about 4-5 ponuds. They are now 12 pounds onwards? Any decent ones? Some are saying error free? Just want some flaming bulbs that wont blow?! HELP

try and source some that are not chinese... when they say error free (can-bus?) i think they mean you wont get any check bulb messages on your dash.. im not sure on that though.

Don't worry about "Error Free" bulbs. The MK4 doesn't have CAN-NUS so wond indicate a light out.

Yes, SMD bulbs are a nice touch. Really make your rear end look smart  :wink:

This is the difference:
