Bulb sizes
« on: 14 February 2006, 04:51 »
Hi all,

I have a bunch of LED bulbs from my previous car and wonder if any of them fits the MKV GTI.  Does anyone know what kind are used on:

1. Interior (dome and footwell)
2. Front and rear turn signals

Thanks!

Interior bulbs are W5W.

Agreed with the interior lamps, but LED bulbs will NOT work correctly in any of the exterior lamps - unless you solder in an appropriately sized resistor.  If you don't you will constantly be nagged by the 'bulb out' warnings.
