Hi

 I fitted these:

http://www.autopartslights.com/volkswagen-vw-mk4-mk5-golf-gti-passat-led-license-plate-light-p-222.html

They are probably a little bright but I might try and dim them with a suitable filter or resistor perhaps. They fit great though and as someone else said, illuminate the rear of the car far better than the pathetic single reversing light does!  No errors either.
Good luck.
