Have been looking to replace all my interior/number plate lights to LEDs and i must say i am very pleased with the results. Plus this is my first mod i have done since getting the K1

So the LEDs i used were:
www.partsulike.co.uk
LED Lighting Upgrade kit (all interior bulbs) + CANBUS Error free Festoon LED 42mm (boot light)

Ebay seller hids-direct-
XTEC C5W 239 ERROR FREE SMD LEDS WHITE SEAT LEON 05- (number plate bulbs)

LED vs Original

Both LEDs in

I fitted the interior kit from them too.

How much was the LED for the boot light if you don't mind me asking.

It was about £6 and is really bright picture doesn't do it any justice really. It has 8 LED's in instead of 6 like the interior LEDs.

Do the interior ones flicker at all when the car is turned off, my brother had problems due to a residual current still passing through the LED

No flicker and no errors, i've had them in for a few days and i haven't had a problem.
I've heard that some sellers are selling LED's which show up errors even though they are described as Can bus friendly.

Just dropped them a note...

The kit looks like it has 2 501 type bulbs and the rest are festoon... my centre light unit in the front has 3 501 type bulbs (face lift mk2)... just checking with them if they need to update the listing or not.

Can anyone recommend a way of removing the vanity mirror light covers and the rear light unit covers ? i cant seem to get them off without them feeling like they are going to snap !

Cheers, Nige

Get a flat head screwdriver put a cloth on the tip so it does'nt scratch anything then slowly pull it off. It took a while to take my back ones off but got their in the end without breaking anything.
