^^^^ page 6, half way down.  :happy2:

Carlo, may be worth putting all relevant info in your OP regarding pics, Matt's email etc? Same questions keep coming a round (no ones fault).

Found the issue, the metal pins on the connector weren't connecting properly. Being the idiot that I am, I just shorted out the fuse trying to put the connectors right without taking the light plug out. What a boob. =/

If I am not mistaken, it's fuse 15, the 7.5 amp one. Right?

Well I hope it is the fuse and nothing more sinister. Anyway, they were looking nice until I did that.

Rear panel in the centre of the roof. Put the bulbs in had to file a bit of the plastic frame as it would not fit back overthe bulbs

Oh... well, no. You take the plastic frame off, take the old bulbs out, put the frame back on, then put the new LED's in...

Just fitted a set of these to my mk6 with no issues apart from having bend the pins slightly on the one for the glovebox to allow the bulb to fit, top service by Matt!

Just fitted my set, brilliant! side lights were a bit of a bugger to do but all working and looking well! thanks Matt! :happy2:

seems the glovebox pins being a bit slack is a common issue as I had to tighten them up as well. :smiley:

I'll try and get some later when its dark, just tried in daylight but you cant really see them that well, personally I love the look of the whiter lights, but thought it looked a bit daft with the standard headlights so I've ordered some MTEC bulbs to match.
