Changed all my bulbs for SuperWhite LEDs

[monte]

Yes mate….

First prise down the plastic holder from left to right (if sat in front seat or facing the front of car)
Unclip the wire. (press the locking tabs and pull - easy)

With the unit in your hand, use a small flat blade screwdriver, and lift/bend each metal lug a little. (don't worry, the metal is very bendy, and won't break)
The metal case will then easily lift off.
Remove the glass bulb and pop in the LED.
Now bend the lugs back on the metal piece, and clip it back onto the Plastic Unit.
Plug in the wire and pop back in the car.

 


First one takes a bit of time, but then they go real easy, and can be done quite fast.

Thanks for posting the pics Monte!!

on some of the interior photos, some of the lights appear a blue colour and some appear a brilliant white... Are all the bulbs bright white white and its just you're camera that makes some of them look blue?

thanks

excellent work!  Might be good to make this a sticky to try and prevent the daily "what bulb to I need for here threads"

Is he going to put the offer for 14 bulbs up on his ebay?

on a similar note, i was recently doing research on changing the sidelights to LED's.

I came across a how to with photos on changing all the interior bulbs for LED's. I didn't need the guide at the time. Sods law, looking to change the interior bulbs and for the life of me, cannot find it!! been searching for hours!

Can anybody put me out of my misery and post a link up??

thanks

There is this guide over on golfgtiforum:

Just a suggestion due to the interest on here. Maybe he makes himself a member and starts a thread in the for sale section for all 14 bulbs. That way we all know we're buying from the right guy with PayPal, with the right kit and he doesn't get eBay fees etc

As long as its not breaking any forum rules think it'd be a lot easier

Great idea, I'm sure he will be up for that!

He has an Audi too so he's in the VAG family

Just the camera Rich, they are ALL White mate. I noticed tonight in the pitch black just how great they all look.

Awesome mod for £20

Well I'll put superteds idea to Matt and see what he says!

I'll ask Boss Man SteveP too to make sure all is ok! 


Also I know I said 14 bulbs, but the full set is 13 bulbs, with 4 of them being the Canbus LEDs with resistors built in!

I bought 14 as I bought the bulbs in packs of 2.

Matt said he will provide the proper kit with all the correct bulbs!

***We have recently found out that some MK5's have an extra bulb in the front map light.

We think this could be just certain years of the TDI models that have 3 bulbs instead of 2, but please check.

If so you MUST inform Matt on your email, and order 1 extra 36mm Festoon LED.

Big thanks to Dodds-GTtdi for the info***

Thanks for setting this up Monte- certainly saves alot of hassle and trial and error!  

I would need to add the puddle lights to the list. I believe these are the same as the sidelights, does anyone know if i have to get the ones with resistors built in?

cheers

Rich

[monte]

Yeah I'm sure the external lights are Canbus type so you will want another 2 8SMD W5W LEDs.
