Title: Piddle lights and xenon sidelight LEDs?
Post by: Dave_TDI on December 27, 2013, 10:12:37 am: Hi, ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find a straight answer so im sorry if this has been asked before :)

Basically i just need to know what kind of bulbs i need for my xenon sidelights and mirror puddle lights as i would like to get rid of the standard yellow bulbs :happy2:

The cars an 2005/05 GTI if that makes any difference :)

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help :)

Dave

Cheers buddy, they were w5w as you suggested :)

Turns out the sidelight in the xenons is also w5w for anyone else wondering :)
