    Help with GTD foglights

    I have been searching for over an hour for a post I saw regarding swapping the OEM bulbs that come on the car with ones that look the same 'colour' as the bi xenon 'white'. I would like to change the yellow colour light from the bulb, in the foglights, with a more matching white colour of the xenon. Purely for looks. I dislike the look of the yellow light when I have the headlights on. I am not that techo with the brightness rating and all that stuff just would like some help with what type of bulb, if in fact it is a bulb to get please. Thanks in advance. While I'm at it, is there an orange LED that can replace the blinker bulb? Will it require recoding, if there is one. Thanks again. PS. I wasn't too sure if this was the right place to post.

    Thanks again, VDUB. Found website and ordered fogs and then, front and rear blinkers while I was there. Good choice and luck with the GTD. I haven't regretted it. (I did own a Mk VI TDI manual before the GTD). PS. Thanks for moving this to the correct thread, admin.

    I recently ordered and have had delivered LED blinkers for the front and rear as well as LED foglights. (See the previous few posts for more background). I also have changed my taillights to LED tails about a year ago and had the car recoded to avoid the dashlight coming on. Today, I changed the front blinkers and foglights with no problem at all and no error codes. Now for the issue. I replaced one of the rear blinkers and turned it on and nothing happened, no blinker light. I swapped the LED for the other one and tried again, still no light. Has anyone had the same problem or know what could be the problem, please?

    Assume you tried the globe both ways around? I didnt know this about LED's before I read about it.

    Yeah, I tried it both ways. This is the type of LEDs I bought. NEW Osram Series - LED Turn Signals - Pair (No Error) BSO-T20-11LOC 1 from Bold Sport.

    Faulty LEDs? Did you put the original incandescent bulb back and it works fine (eliminating the possibility of a fuse)?

    Ive got the same ones from Bold Sport in my car and they work fine. I love the instant on/off of the LED light. Perhaps the bulbs you received are faulty? Email them as i had a fitment issue with my front LED indicators and they sent me another set at no cost. So now i have 2x front sets

    Are you by chance in Newcastle any time soon? You could try my bulbs in your car?
