LOL you plonker. Let's us know how the LED's look and if you get any bulb errors.

Well, I'm in 2 minds as to whether to do it or not......

I think you will get bulb errors - not a prob as I have resistors I can stick on there. But I don't know whether it's worth breaking the passenger side and costing even more £££

And if the std bulb goes, I can probably get VW to sort it out. But if the LED was to go (unlikely, but just my sodding luck) then I'd have to pay for new glass again!

But it would look so much better. Every interior bulb is LED now, so it would match.

What to do ? ? ? ? ?

Tpms can be retro fitted idepending on the abs unit fitted.to the car. I turned.it on in mine until I fit the  kit. You just have to turn on the right thing. It's all listed a few times on this forum try a search here.

I was thinking that but I guess it's a glove box out jobby, now if it was possible to have the option on DIS then it would be another story!
