LED Bulb Replacement - Passat V6 - Visibility Package

[PI27OL]

Hi Guy's,

I've had my Passat V6 Highline for 12 months now and wanted to get rid of those ugly bulbs that come standard, I have no idea why VW would put LED DRL's, brake lights and mirror indicators, but not add the front and rear indicators to the list. It just makes the car look a little cheap and unfinished if you ask me. By the way I have the Bi-Xenon's with the visibility package so even more frustrating...

So after seeing a few people talk about it on this thread I started by ordering the replacement bulbs for the front turn signals (at that stage I wasn't aware that the rear also need to be changed to LED). After much searching I found these from Bold Sport: Bold-Sport.com :: NEW Osram Series - Front LED Turn Signals

They were a perfect fit with no canbus error and look great once installed. Super easy to swap out. Highly recommended.

Recently I ordered the rear indicator bulbs from HID's Direct in UK: 581 (PY21W) 27 AMBER SMD LED ERROR FREE INDICATOR BULBS - HIDS DIRECT LTD Store

Again a perfect fit and no canbus error, look great, just a little tricky to replace the nylon bolt that holds the light assembly in place. Don't drop it in the body, it added 15 minutes to my installation time as I had to fish it out..

So all I have to do now is install the H11's into the fog light assembly, I'm pretty sure there is a section on here that describes that. For those, I have orderthese and will update and add pics once I get home from work: H11 CANBUS 27 HIGH POWER SMD LED ERROR FREE BULBS - HIDS DIRECT LTD Store

So there's my two cents worth, all pretty simple and easy to do with great results.

Thanks for the info. Just what I was looking for.

Oops. Don't use the H11's they don't rotate into the fitting correctly and give a bulb error once installed. Going to swap them for the correct H8's.

Everything else is still perfect. Anyone need some led H11's?

This is the replacement LED for the rear indicators. Very bright.

What about the reverise lights. These are the worst of the lot as they don't provide any visual benefit when reversing in the dark at all!!
