Title: LED number plate lights Help please
Post by: wardygt on December 14, 2014, 12:38:40 pm: Hi
I have seen (white) LED number plate replacement bulbs on eBay, I have had them on other cars and have had no issues and they looked good :happy2:

my question is... is it as simple just changing the bulbs on golfs and do they look good?
Also do they tend to have any issues?
Thanks

They are a straight swap (at least mine were) and no errors. for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271497461648
Part number is 1K8943021 - I paid 15 quid for mine from Holland.
