I would recommend getting the new full units rather than just putting led bulbs in. Not sure if iv got a pic of mine anywhere

What do you mean by unit? Why would you recommend that as appose to just swapping the bulbs?

Thanks

Like the look of these  :smiley: Do you have to strip the mirror unit down to fit them ? Also do they come with a resistor pack or is it built in... Ah just noticed the ad say's MK5 ... or are the MK6 one's the same  :wink:

To change them you push the mirror the wrong way and out pops a tiny screw hole to undo them. Its plug and play with no errors
