Which Light Fitting Type does the MK5 use?

[maxamus]

Ok im after replacing my side lights and my indicator lights.
Which type of bulbs does it take for the side lights, H1, H3, H4, H7 or H11?

Which one for the lights in the wing mirrors...?

[SteveS]

501 w5w side lights, the small little ones (not H anything)
indicators are 382 i think? generic indicator bulbs...

I thought the side indicators are 582's .  Get the silvered one's they look better once installed.

Sure its not H7?
Well according to this article (http://www.headlightbulb.co.uk/2008/02/upgrade-to-mk5-golf-gt-tdi-review.html) i dug up it says:

"....The Golf MK5 uses H7 for both the main and side beams which made my life easier as I didn't have to try differen't bulbs in different sizes."

I should of mentioned i dont have xenons

501 w5w = LED's which i thought dont work on the MK5 ?

[SteveS]

LEDs come up in search because everyone wants em so puts the page ranking up. they are normal sidelight bulbs too..

main lights are one ones on the outside.
side lights are like parking lights... small bulbs in the line across the bottom of the headlight... argh hard to explain at this time of night..  me tired
