Mine didn't work :( can you all confirm yours are made by "precision"?

Can't remember the make of mine. Have you tried turning them 180 Degrees in the Bulb Holders?

Did you get the ones from MyLitCo on Ebay?

Mine worked straight away after turning them 180 Degrees.  Try getting the OE bulbs working again in the holders then swap out for the LED's one at a time. If it doesn't work straight off note which way you had the LED in and get that Sidelight Working again with OE Bulb, then switch off, put the LED in the otherway around to last time and try that.  Other than this I'm a little stumped mate.

Ok the way I did it,

No keys, turn lights on then of, remove sidelight (one side)
Replace with LED,
Check lights and it works,
Repeat othernside.

These are just sidelights on. For anyone toting with getting some I suggest you do it! Been buying £2 crappers for ages thinking I wasn't spending £10 on sidelights and I am so glad I do, really do get what you pay for!

I got the number plate LED's from the same seller MyLitCo, they were best offer, he accepted £9 inc delivery for a pr.  Again went straight in no problems.

I'm after some more now for the interior lights  :signLOL:

Bought these for the interior

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280593285714

they do have a problem in that they stay on very dim when the ignition is on, there must be a slight voltage in the system all the time, just don’t use them as foot well lights as they need to be CAN-BUS friendly. Bought 3 sets and offered £18 which was accepted.

Also bought these for the sun visor/mirror lights

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270627078905

Same as the number plate lights, not quite the right length but if you are careful you can bend the contacts on the light unit so that they fit.
