The puddle light lens cover DOES NOT simply clip off, found this out the hard way. i.e broken lens. Found out that if you push the mirror forward there's a small torx screw that presumably holds the lens in place. Off to VW to order a new lens. $80! Sheesh!

You know what, I think you are right! (I did it a while ago!)

Push the mirror forward and if there is a torx screw, there is your answer

Yeah the whole lamp holder pops out, quite easy once you know how. Replaced the bulbs with some phillips 4000K W5W bulbs. Quite a bit whiter than the originals. I guess the'll do until I get some LED's.

Any pics on how pls?

Ive tried LED's for the Parkers and they dont work or I get an error message on DIS.

Apparently the issue is due the low voltage the parkers work on.

Has anyone successfully fitted LED's? Ive tried 2 sets with no luck

For the parkers you will need ertor free led (canbus) globes.
I got some off ebay, wotk great and no error.
I will post the link oncw I find it for you.

How close do they match the xenons in colour and can they be used for the puddle lights?

[Adnan]

Mine are white and match perfectly.
For puddle lights I used normal white led, same for interior No need for error free ones.

[PASHN8]

Adnan, are those the same ones exactly that you have?

I have LEDs in my parkers, but I find them bluer than the xenons which are pure white.
I don't like the blue look unfortunately.

Are you sure yours are the same white as the xenons?
