I've got the Lucid Combo Here
These are great IMO. Matches perfect with the headlights front & back.

Dont buy the ones I linked in the first post as the seller says they are having problems with mk5s. Mine failed in under 2 months.  :sad1:

Dunno if the lights are the same as on a Skoda vRS

I bought a set of white 6 SMD led lights for mine and they are fantastic. Crisp white light and they even light up the floor at the rear of the car

These were the ones i got

I've just fit some LED lights for my number plate and am getting an error with the set i've bought.
I got mine from HIDS Direct on eBay.

They come on then a few seconds later turn off :(
