Title: LED
Post by: Johnny_tro on March 01, 2012, 11:26:28 pm

I have those little lights under my wing mirrors - puddle lights/welcome home lights

I want to change these two to LEDs, can anyone link me to a good set they have used?

(Note sure what bulbs they are)

I used some of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Xenon-5-LED-SMD-Car-Side-Light-Sidelight-White-Lamp-Bulbs-T10-W5W-501-168-/180737742822?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a14cf17e6 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Xenon-5-LED-SMD-Car-Side-Light-Sidelight-White-Lamp-Bulbs-T10-W5W-501-168-/180737742822?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a14cf17e6)

When you scan with VCDS it shows a bulb fault but is not displayed in car.  if you don't want the bulb error you need to spend the extra cash and go for canbus error free bulbs.   :happy2:
