Bit off topic but it's my thread so I'll do it anyway...
Anyone found some LED replacements for the rear indicators? Not found any yellow/orange LEDs that won't throw canbus errors. The rest of the rear lights are LED, both 4 brake lights and the reversing/fog lights - so mildly perturbed that the indicators are still halogen bulbs.

No such luck  :sad1:

Problem is limited choice due to unusual fitment, I have got a led in one and it does a crap job think mainly just to the limited space. So I have come to the conclusion the halogens cannot be matched or improved upon with led

Bought the exact same setup, arrived today. Looks to all be decent kit although, disappointingly one of the rubber covers for the indicator bulb access seems to be missing. Will try an email to the sellers but my German is relatively poor! Also, I assume I use the projector adjustment worm screws to get the right light angles as I found no option for LHD/RHD and cant see an obvious switch inside the projector mechanism to switch between the two?
