Headlight / DRL / Foglight / Park light bulb replacement

To be honest, I think the warm halogen light looks more luxurious and stylish. I can't really go down that road with a bright red Adidas edition GTI....lol

I'm pretty sure it's incandescent

Quick one - what size are the number plate light bulbs? not looking to get an LED conversion, just the LED type bulbs.
Are they 35mm or 39mm?

Just be aware that you'll get a bulb out error by using normal leds. I believe it can be coded out tho?

On another side note, when I first got the car I tried leds in the parker lights and got the dreaded bulb out error. I recently put them back in again as a friend now has vagcom and was going to code out the error for me. However, the bulb out error didn't come up. Would this be something to do with my APR tune? That's the only thing that's changed electronics wise since I last tried the leds.

You can't make code changes for LED numberplate lights, that we're aware of at this stage. You need to fit resistors to eat up the remaining current if you want to fit LEDs and prevent the warning light from being thrown.

Completely unrelated.

Domz, they are 39mm from memory. I bought some from Autoslick which were complete light units including resistors. No bulb out error. See here http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ive-74344.html

I believe it can only be coded if you have a highline Central Electrics Control Module that has a part number ending in 87.

It's a mystery then....................

I got a complete unit including a resistor box etc from here:

Good quality and no issues.

Hi all,

Ive had a quick read through all the pages in this thread but could not find it mentioned.

Has anyone tried these LED DRL's? They are available on ebay but cant link ebay as at work.

I just put in the parker Led's that Pullstarter gave me (thx buddy!) and no bulb out error.
