Bugger! I swear i read that you can adjust that in VCDS for those lights, but perhaps they were referring to the mk6

Nothing an inline resistor wouldn't solve

What length are the bulbs.  eBay has a variety of lengths, 36mm, 42, 44, 47 mm?

Normally 36mm.

XTec are the most reliable ones i've used. Had mine in for a while now and work perfectly fine with no lights on the dash etc

have you got any photos of their brightness at night carl? Im looking for subtle lit like the new BMWs rather than illuminating the road!

As requested

Looking at the plate



Pic of the lights



And of the floor. As you can see they illuminate the plate but not the whole world
