Cheap one quickly stopped working for me, and they were always giving error on dashboard.
I bought some better quality around 15€ each and they worked way better.

They give a lovely bright white light. Again no issues. Check the pin out and you probably need to check for branding alternatives. Probably that thread were we had to hunt down the same bulbs.

The 2017 Ateca was sold as full LED when it wasnt, full LED at the front, not at the back. By 2020 it became full LED. Having some of those LEDs in the front might have helped where people find they need to fit capacitors etc. Half LED in the early models helped to make it full LED .
