    Posted here as this is applicable to all modern brands of VAG.

    This ebay seller www.fizzmo.co.uk, H7 items in fizzmo uk store on eBay! comes recommended apparently on other forums. Dad has just used him for side light LEDs for his <cough> Freelander.

    Has anyone got any experience worth sharing in the world of LEDs.

    Thanks

    I fitted LED footwell lights, and LED boot lighting to my Passat, and never had any problems; the light output was better than conventional bulbs too in my opinion - hopefully your dad will have similar experience Ben

    Lang may yer lum reek!

    Footwell.jpgInterior.jpgNumber Plate.jpgI have just replaced all the interior lights, upgraded footwell lights, number plate bulbs and DRL bulbs with LEDs on my A6 Le Mans.

    Amazing is all i can say.

    I bought the LEDS from Trups EM Tuning recomended by Chris on the forum.

    Excellent service from Trups, he changed the bulbs for me free of charge except for.the.DRLs as that was a bigger job which my nephew (vw tech) did for me. Trups changed a setting in the VCDS which i will asking him to put back to how it was, the reason was to trick.the car in to thinking it still had halogens, HOWEVER, when the DRLs were changed we have found they flicker on/off every 3-4 seconds. Trups is supplying a fix for this which i think encompasses a small loom with a bulb on it.

    Now getting back to.the vcds, no changes were required required for any of the interior lights, the change that was made was "xenon and led drls" but this also switched of the side light bulbs, with the loom mod in place the setting should be able to be put back to how it originally was.

    The LED DRL look fantastic and match the Xenons which i also upgraded to 6000K bulbs from the stock 4300K

    The car has gone for some paint work when it comes back next week i will be putting up some pics
