Can you just buy single bulbs rather than the kit? I need the glovebox and boot light as iv already got leds everywhere else!

went and picked my bulbs up this afternoon from matt. nice guy and knows his stuff.

spent the next few hours fitting them. pretty straight forward and looked really nice! however i got too 'relaxed' fitting the glovebox light and managed to blow the fuse so im yet to see the them properly in the dark  :sad1:

although the number plate lights and footwells look awesome!

i did have a couple of problems. the glovebox light is the same fitting as the canbus footwells and the w5w style led's that also go in the reading lights dont fit?

also mines an 06 gt tdi and it had the 3rd light in the front, i needed a 3 led fastoon but managed to squeeze the spare 4 led in i had so all is well :)

all in all im mega happy with them and cant wait to get the fuse tomorrow and try them when it gets dark  :laugh:

Took delivery of the external bulbs as specified at the beginning of this post. The delivery was next day which was superb and i fitted them at the weekend. what a difference they make. thank you to Monte as i probably wouldn't have attempted picking out the correct bulbs for brightness etc. so thanks again.

DRL's here we come.........






I drive Fitz, a standard 5 door MK5 GTi with nice bright white lights!!!!

Great Stuff  :happy2:

TBH I was in the same boat.

I quite fancied the idea of the LEDs but not knowing for sure which bulbs to buy, and then if they would work or cause errors, really put me off.

When Matt told me to come round to his LED Emporium  :laugh: and try as many bulbs as needed till we find the correct ones, I was well pleased   :smiley:

BIG THANKS to MATT for helping me put this kit together.  :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:


Stick around mate, Fitz won't be standard for long  :wink:

Sorry to resurrect this but have a qck question.

Bought the kit when first offered but not managed to fit as yet, 6 month old baby is all I'm gonna say!!

Anyway, I'm swapping the 5 door child friendly golf, for a 3 door, not so child friendly Scirocco coupe next week and want to know if these are a direct swap

You might not have all the same lights but I would assume that the bulbs should be fine in the scirocco.

Thanks.

Suppose it'll be a case of try and fit and see what happens :happy2:

I ordered a set of light lights for my car. After fitting them the warbling light come on saying that the bulbs are defective. Now both them are working so I'm not quite sure what the issue is.

Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Bought the pack off Matt, all installed and working. Had already done the rear reg plate and front footwells, but kept forgetting to sit down and order the others - much easier getting the pack!
