Cheers Jake.

Damn they are cheap. Kind of worries me how long they will last though.

na they'll last, i have similar LEDs (cheap ebay from china) on my previous car last 2+ years before I traded it in.

anyway coz the DRL LEDs took so long to come I ordered another 2 and I have them now as spares.

i've also purchased all the LEDs for the interior, but I'm having trouble trying to get to the two dome bulbs...

I watched a video on YouTube that showed you how to replace them all. It was by a workshop in the states I think.

I saw the same video, the U.S. Jetta has a different dome housing to ours. there one you can just pull out the whole clear window to get to the bulbs..easy.. but on ours we have to two round windows for each bulb... looks like you have to pull apart the whole console to get to the bulbs.
