pics with them on at night?

Hi, just posting this to make mk5 owners aware of the problem I encountered. Admittedly the original poster (ARV_90) is asking for advice on his mk6 golf, but I noticed the post from Monkey10 saying he had no problems fitting these units to his mk5 ed30. On seeing Monkey10's recommendation I purchased the same number plate light units for my mk5 (ed30) but they were not a direct fit. The original mk5 number plate light wiring feeds from the left and there isn't enough play in the wiring for these units to be fitted symmetrically as the right hand side unit requires more play in the wiring to fit correctly than is available

Hi, yes I've quoted for mk5 I've read it wrong mk6 fit but need coding as my mates did using vagcom plenty of info online. Then the light stays off.
As for not fitting a mk5 due to wiring being too short I've fitted these to 4 mk5s with no problems including mine so not sure why yours is different.
thanks

Got a set of these from demon666's link. It took 5 days delivery from china, and it was an easy fit. Defo worth £9.99, as most uk sellers sell them for £20 plus.

I got these bulbs with a built in resistor for a fiver!

I just took apart my original housing and replaced the bulbs with these and clipped back together, job done. No warning lights at all, look great too!

Thread update,

I decided to go with the one's SUG suggested in the end... These did come with quite a large resistor pack and a little loom that you plugged into the original socket which had two little plugs on... one for the resistor pack and the other that plugged into the LED light unit, I did try them without the resistor ... they worked fine but gave  the light out error on the dash so I plugged the resistor in and they work fine with no errors. I did end up putting a strip of double sided tape on the flat face of the resistor pack as it is rather big ... sort of thumb size with an aluminium case...  as I pushed them up into the bumper stuck them to the top ledge so they wouldn't be swinging around then just clipped the LED light unit in a 5 minuet job. I must say they are rather bright you wont miss them being LED when following ...

Took a couple of pictures with my Iphone so not brilliant but you can see how bright they are. Thanks to all who had an input

Picture is a bit rough tbh... I will try and get a sharper one.

If i'm honest they may be a bit too bright !!!

they come as plau-n-play? no modification?

Sorry to bring up an old thread - I recently bought a set of MK6 LED rear number plate lights (Genuine VW) but I seem to be getting a number plate light defective message on my dash.

Any ideas?

What model year?

MY2008 used to throw a dash light, I posted up about it years ago and the consensus back then was later model years was hit and miss as to whether this happened, something to do with a different CECM module maybe. I binned my off for upgraded Mtec bulbs as I got sick of the dash light

One thing you could try is turning of the cold diagnosis for the number plate lights in VCDS, I never tried it, might be worth a shot

@shoaybmakda

@fab5freddy thanks for the response. I think it will be the case with my car as it's a 2007 model. But a Dubai import so it's a 2005 (axx engine) did try switching off cold diagnostics. But no joy.

Can I change the bulbs on them to the error free ones and make it work that way? Bit pointless I guess as I suppose I could do the same with my old mk5 units and keep it running that way?

Thanks
