Hi
I fitted these:
http://www.autopartslights.com/volkswagen-vw-mk4-mk5-golf-gti-passat-led-license-plate-light-p-222.html
They are probably a little bright but I might try and dim them with a suitable filter or resistor perhaps. They fit great though and as someone else said, illuminate the rear of the car far better than the pathetic single reversing light does! No errors either.
Good luck.

How easy to ft these?

What are they like to fit are they just a straight swap what are the leads on the picture for cheers

Anyone?

very easy to fit. There are two screws at each and you pull out the full light, insert led instead of bulb and job done in 5 minutes!

Got mine from Ktlstar a little while ago when he had some up for sale, work great and the only problem i had was one of my light units was corroded and broke the side clip removing it so just bought a new one :wink: nice little mod which sets off the rear end at night time

Got my led's but what on earth are the silver things on the right,
Does my car have these and i just swap them over?

-
they are the resistors.
-
Do they need to be secured firmly with tape or something or do they fit snugly behind the led part?
-
Fitted these a few weeks ago they've been spot on cheers!
