Just had a couple of the festoon ones delivered for the rear number plate, but as it was persisting down outside (and bloody cold) thought I would leave that for another day.

Was still interested to see exactly what difference there would be, so I swapped out the central interior light for one of these LED jobbies, and could believe the difference. Never noticed how yellow the old filament ones were. Here's a couple of pics:





Deffo going to have to do them all now  :happy2:

That looks ace :happy2:
I just popped the plactic cover off the front light and I only have 2 spotlight bulbs - no centre bulb?  :confused:
Do I need to remove the silver housing in between the 2 spotlights to see the festoon bulb?!

I think this was part of VW's cost cutting on later models, in that the centre light was deleted. Mine is a 2005 model year so has all 3, but my mate with an 08 model (like you) only has the outer 2.
