    I popped aussie's LED's in tonight and there aren't any errors so far. I noticed that there must be a positive and a negative side as I had to pull them out and put them back in 180 degrees.

    Indeed it's very weird why errors appear on my MFD.

    I suspect now that maybe the MY11 Tigs have a different (and beefed up) Central Electronics Control Module (CECM) than earlier Tigs or at least Tigs without xenons.

    Like I mentioned, all error-free LEDs that I've fitted (whether cheap or expensive) have showed a warning on my MFD.

    Any chance people can post their VCDS scan to confirm?

    What bulbs have you guys used for the front map lights?
    the LED 37mm festoon bulbs don't fit in mine as you need a proper long bulb.


    The rear map lights do fit though and it makes a world of difference.

    They're not festoons on mine, as I suspect to be the case for anyone with sunroof.

    Have you tried pulling out the connectors a bit to make them touch the festoon?

    If you rip out the long bulb in the boot and it fits the front, then it's a 41 - 42mm festoon.

    Alternatively, just measure up the existing bulb.

    Sorry i should clarify.
    The bulbs for the front lights are regular looking bulbs (like indicator bulbs or brake light bulbs etc)
    Is there an LED solution to these?

    Will take a photo soon to represent what i am talking about.

    If u mean they look like miniature household globes, then yes they do make them in LED. Check the website I recommended earlier in this thread or u should find some on ebay.

    Here's the direct link, Team_v:
    Blesk Error-Free T4W (BA9s) LED

    But these are expensive as they are the error free type, which are not necessry for interior.

    Also u need to double check whether these BA9 bulbs are right size.

    Sorry it took me a while to get some pics, and they don't really do it justice - but you get the idea. Just put in 6LED 37mm festoons.
