canbus leds ?

[gm8]

Hi ,

do i need canbus leds for my number plate bulbs ? bought cheapo led non canbus from ebay and the seller has replaced them twice because they die after a few days. Is it just because they are cheapos or do I need the canbus ones? I dont have a bulb out warning indicator on my dash. Normal festoons work fine.

Cheers

bump. anyone ?

Probably cheap rubbish 

You don't need canbus ones as the MK4 doesn't monitor bulbs like the later VAG cars do

There's no such thing.

Them if you want light:

or them if you want floodlights:

The second one I have for the dome light and it is literally a floodlight, not sure if it will fit in the number plate spot, so measure up on the second option. I've ordered from both them ebayers and had no problems.
