Mine came with ones off a MK6 & they're great :innocent:
-
So mine might already have them ??????? Lol
-
Mine was bought from a lad from a lad off here who put Mk6 ones in :party:
-
Mk6 ones are very good indeed - added a set to mine, but the price is eye-watering for LED lights!
Still, I wanted fit and forget!
-
new to this, the MK6 ones your on about, Genuines or aftermarket?
-
I bought a similar one off egay for £30 or so and they failed after 8months so went back to festoon type. Also found a few leds had stopped working.
-
have we got any links to led ones
-
I had similar ones, were very very bright but never failed like the festoon ones I used to buy
These ones come as a while unit which were more reliable for me
Thanks

That's vag for you :laugh:
-
Any part numbers or links for the mk6 items guys? I've just had to buy some more festoon LEDS as they don't seem to last long before they stop working (<12 months). :confused:
Also are the mk6 items plug and play?
Cheers

1K8 943 021 C - LED License Plate Lights - £27.07 each from the stealers - plug n play :grin:
-
When you ve fitted these do you need to enable them via the ecu ?
-
They were already fitted to the eddy when I bought it :happy2:
-
Search Ebay worldwide, £25 for a set of 2 genuine ones inc del.
-
When you ve fitted these do you need to enable them via the ecu ?
When you mean enable them, do you mean code them via Vag com........ :confused:
So these will not be just plug and play.
Cheers Dan

I have the ones from MyLitCo.
Had a set on my old car for 18 months, no problems at all.
Had some on my current car, after 6 months on one side 2 of the 8 LED's had stopped working and the unit would intermittently flicker. I emailed MyLitCo and they sent me out a replacement unit within 24 hours of my original e-mail.
I had the festoon type bulbs before in my old car.. they were for for about 3 months until weird things started happening... randomly when I started the car the light out bulb would be on. If I turned the headlights on and off again, it would go out, most of the time - Sometimes it took multiple attempts... then occasionally my LED strip in my Hella Celis lights would stop working... again, really weird. I eventually found out the bulb warning was that NEITHER of my number plate bulbs would work unless you started the car and performed a rain dance (with the lights off, turned them on, then off, then on again) after which everything would be OK
Traced EVERYTHING down the cheap crappy festoon bulbs (which had the built in resistors..) - Replaced with the units and all is OK.
The Mk6 units are more expensive (you can buy these whole replacement aftermarket units for around £20-£25), they come with a year warranty from MyLitCo (who are very big not going to disappear overnight) and the Mk6 units are NOWHERE NEAR as bright - They look about the same as festoon LED bulbs - Pretty pointless!!
Here are mine - Mate took the photo.

Big lad - MK6 but fit the MK5
-

-
So on this subject has anyone managed to find out yet if we need to code the mk6 led units to the mk5 thanks
-

Very handy when parking ;)
To be fair they're not THAT bright. Phone Cameras are rubbish. I'll take a pic later with my DSLR. My view is either do it properly (and by properly I mean bright) or keep the standard ones in.
-
Seen some 1K8943021C on eBay from German suppliers for about £28 the pair inc delivery, worth buying?
-
hi N8KOW you put £27.07 each is that a set or each one cheers
-

I could probably light up most of my house with those bulbs if I wanted.
