Sorry guys, tried a search but couldn't find what I was after. I want to change the interior lights to LEDS like quite a few have done, but have 2 questions.
Does anyone have a list of what type of bulbs are actually used (or do I need to pop them out and have a look myself).
Also, I purchased some CAN Bus firendly ones from a guy on ebay for my rear number plate, but he now appears on Ebay as no longer a registered member. I assume these lights all have to be the CAN Bus friendly to work properly ?. Does anyone have a good link to a seller with bulbs known to work at decent prices please ?
I'm after replacing
Front light Main light - This is a festoon type. Map reading lights (these have already been done with the wedge type units).
Rear light - (central and map reading - 3 bulbs)
Foot well lights (left and right)
Glove box light. (no too bothered about the sun visor vanity lights).
Many thanks
Andrew

Most eBay links seam dead, got £20 sat in PayPal and links to some sidelights (LED?) and headlight replacements (xenon look?)?
Thread Hijack :P
-
Even if the links are dead you've still got the type of bulb to do your own eBay search with :happy2:
-
I know I'm searching for a 501 bulb for sidelights and H7 for headlights but lots claim to be canbus error free and they aint you see ;)
-
There are hundreds of U.K sellers on ebay selling canbus safe 501 bulbs, I'v just looked :happy2:
If they throw up errors send them back!!They have to refund you. Its not like it was when I first got mine, all the sellers were in hong kong and it would cost more to send them back than get another set!

Do both of these fit in the holders?
-
NO :signLOL:
THEY are fitted in my EDITION 30

Yep, they're a a bit thicker so not as easy to put in as a normal bulb but they fit

Reckon I'm going to have to do this.

Hi...i'm sorry to bring this thread back....i am trying to buy some leds for my 09 gti ed30....but i am still a bit confused even having spent hours today going through all the threads i could find on changing interior and exterior lights to the white led ones without getting errors coming up etc..... there isnt really a clear definitive answer to what you need to buy....as far as i can work out, these are the kind of lamps(bulbs) you need....
FRONT and REAR INTERNAL SPOT LIGHTS - 5 x 501 4 SMD LED WHITE BULBS (194 T10 new mini light tower 9 LEDS)
FOOTWELLS - 2 x 501 T10 W5W
GLOVEBOX - 1 x 501 W5W
VANITY MIRROR VISORS - 2 x 42mm 3 WA SMT LEDS Festoon 6W output cool white light
BOOT - 1 x 42mm White LED Festoon Bulb
NUMBER PLATES - error free canbus 38mm number plate festoons
I am still a bit confused as to if some of these are actually the same....could someone correct what i have written or make things a little clearer... much appreciated
