What LEDs did you get... any pics of them lit up?
No pics, sorry. They were the canbus friendly ones from my old MK2 Leon. Like a little flat circuit board with 4 Led's soldered on.
I just got LED W5W CAN BUS off ebay and they worked fine.
Same cant be said for the DRL and number plate ones

I did the same, but how do you get to the ones near the indicator side lights ?? short of taking the headlight unit out !!

The ones that work are out of stock >>>>>>http://www.car-mod-shop.co.uk/Canbus white 27 SMD LED BA15s 1156 382 bulbs but I read that you can still get them from the USA
What ones did you buy that didn't work? Do you have a Link? I'm thinking of giving these a go >>>>>>http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Can-Bus-White...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aab781d1f
Long nosed pliers did the trick for me after I removed the air intake pipe (2 screws)
On the left side there are two connectors placed behind the headlight. Removing one or both connectors might give you some extra space behind the headlight.
For the right side you've to remove the air-intake.
There's no need to remove the headlight units (they're secured with 3 torx screws size 30).
The only thing you need is patience, and some good weather.
Don't pull any wires inside the headlight units!
The sidelights are easy.
First switch on the sidelights so you can locate them in the headlight units. Once located switched of the sidelights before you continue.
They're mounted on a long black socket. At the end of the socket is a flat piece of plastic that you can reach with you're fingers. Twist it and pull out the socket.
Before you insert the socket test if the sidelight is working. If not rotate the LED bulb and test again.
The end of the sockets for the indicator lights look like a T at the end. Best is to use fingers from both hands to twist this socket. When the socket is loose you can pull it out.
Placing the indicator sockets back in is a hard job because it's not easy to get the sockets well aligned. You can use pliers, but I preferred to use my hands (fingers) so I had a better feeling of what I was doing.
Lamps I've used:
Indicator lights: Philips Silver Vision
Sidelights: http://www.immers.info/Webwinkel-Product-3282797/12v-Canbus-T10-5-SMD.html
DRL's: Benzinfabrik.de Link

OHH, they look interesting, Any pics? Are they white and bright?

You might need to add a resistor parallel to those LED bulbs anyway as the site suggests.
I will see if I can get a pic when it stops raining.
They are not that bright, I am still deciding if I want to mess about with additional resistors for LED DRLs
Actually I think they look OK. They look subtle not like some of the cars you see now with strips of LED's in strange shapes.
If the ones I have ordered don't work I will probably get some of those.

yeah thread is mega off topic, sorry to the OP.
However let us know asap if those bulbs work, I need to get these ones sent bac.
