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!

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.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

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

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
