So the lights eventually arrived on Saturday morning. Got round to fitting them lat night:

Before & After.

Let there be light!


To be honest, the lights work a treat & no Canbus issues however they are a bit to bright for my liking. Wanted more of an OEM look. Suppose they'll do the job just now & are an easy fix if I want to change back.

Yes those look very bright. Would be great to obscure the number plate from cameras :wink:

Looks very bright! I did mine (just some off ebay which someone linked to on here before) and it looks much better than standard bulbs.

That sounds like a good idea, or just a light smoke would produce less harsh light  :happy2:

Instead of starting a new thread... anyone know what lamps I can get that wont throw up an error code? I've got a 2008 Golf and I've been told the CANBUS system on it is different to earlier Golf's.

Cheers
