How much do they cost please? And is it just plug and play or do you need Vagcom to get them working?

I bought mine for the dealer, with a discount, and they cost £460, you also need wiring adapters (readily available on ebay) and you do need to code them otherwise you get 'bulb out' warnings every time you turn on the ignition.

The coding varies depending on the year of your car, some use 04, but that caused problems with mine, used 15 and all was fine.

Cheers for the info! I will have a word with the dealers on Friday when I pick the car up and see if they will do me a deal! :smiley:

Got mine from here...

 as oem parts and including the wiring harness, worked out at £384 delivered which was reasonable.

As per Mustard's comment '04' gave me problems on Byte 18 and had to change it to a value of '15' which worked perfectly.

Best cosmetic md you can make as many will agree  :cool:

After talking to Dana at rossntech it seems 15 is the correct value for rhd cars. As I tried a few values before contacting them for technical support.

Did we ever establish what the value should be if you are putting your standard lights back on?
