So i thought i do a quick writeup how to change lincense plate lights from oem yellow light to oem led lights. It's pretty easy but will show with pics how everything is done for the people who not know or are unsure how it's done.
The car is a VW golf mk5 gti 2005 dsg.

You can find the unit from this Ebay seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271497461648?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

( this is my frist how-to so i will be editing this thread now and then )

1) get the unit(s)




2) Wash you car!  :happy2:


3) This is how the old oem look like. You can remove it by unscrew the 2 screws you can see...


4) After that you should try to pray the right side out as showed in the pic 8 you dont need to use much of force to get this out! )


5) after praying the one side out, you just start pulling the hole unit out of there. It will come with the connector.


6) Undo the clip and pull it off. easy! clean the old one if you so want. but don't let the connector fall inside the bumper.


7) Get the new oem led unit and just reinstall it by pushing the connector to the unit and Klik!


8) just push the new unit in by starting with the left side as you se there is 2 small tabs, after that just push the right side in and you will hear a klik and it's done! you dont need any screws for the new unit.


the same thing for the other side! should be no problems.


If this have done before feel free to remove this how-to :)
