Title: LED side lights? Max size that will fit?
Post by: MrDo on March 03, 2013, 10:30:07 am

Anyone know the max size, especially the length, of sidelight bulb that will fit a mk5 GTI?

Thinking of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-ERROR-FREE-CANBUS-W5W-T10-501-LED-SIDE-LIGHT-BULB-13-SMD-UK-Stock-/330866430595 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-ERROR-FREE-CANBUS-W5W-T10-501-LED-SIDE-LIGHT-BULB-13-SMD-UK-Stock-/330866430595) or smaller 2 in a row versions.

I have fitted the exact same one's as those with no problems.
Go for it.

I have xenons by the way, But I think the fitment is the same for halogen headlight units.

Just looked at my car with Halogens. Length will not be an issue. Will get a set of LEDs and report back:)
