2010 facelift LED interior and rear number plate lights

[big eck]

Ok people I'm looking for some guidance.

Now don't bother with the usual "use the search function" comments as I've already done that and there's so many threads giving different answers. So I'm looking for 100% definate, already done answers.

I'm just looking for which bulb goes where and where to buy them. My car has the factory xenons if that makes any difference.

I'd like to start with the rear plate light first.

Anyone help???

I don't think there are any LED rear number plate bulbs that 100% work. I have some LED ones and then scotchlocked a set of standard w5w inside the rear bumper so I have no errors. Nath has the same.

The guy from Partsulike joined the form a few weeks ago to try resolve issues with his interior/number plate bulbs.

The thread is Here but essentially he was getting new canbus free LED's that were rated to 10w the same as the std filament bulbs so they shouldn't cause errors.

I know there expensive but something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-License-Number-Plate-Light-OEM-Lamp-Xenon-White-LED-Upgrade-Canbus-/360614765799?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item92b4c11354

these work but are VERY bright. Floodlights the tarmac behind! Do work though!

Let me know how you get on mate. Failing that I'll just need to buy those ones at £25.

What ones will I need for the full interior???

Can someone post up a full list??? It could then be made a sticky for everyone to see.

You will need 3 x 501 reading lights , and 4 festoons for the sunvisor and rear

1 x 501 for the glove box and 1 x festoon for the boot

Where the best place to buy them??? Are they specific ones I need to not throw up any faults.

 

[LeonCR]

all my interior bulbs were from parts you like, they dont have any sensors so dont throw up any faults so no need for specific ones thou I believe they do a kit

 

[big eck]

I've just had a look on there site and there kit is different from what you said. Can you confirm which one is right please mate.

[LeonCR]

i think on some cars the reading lights are different, have a look at yours and if you have 3 501 then my list is correct, when you order from them just mention what you have and he will change it

 

[big eck]

So the lights just pull out??? The last thing I want to do break the lenses lol.

 

[LeonCR]

i used a slim bit of plastic to price the lens out

Which of these lights would fit a mk2 Leon supercopa on a 62plate please? The vw floodlights LEDs that is.

Interested in this thread as I'd like to change mine too but previous experience just gave warnings on every one I changed, the only one I have changed successfully is the one in the boot.

Think I read somewhere about the wrong type of LED can get really hot and burnout possibly causing damage, don't really want that to happen so would be good to get something that works consistently.

I've just replaced all my interior bulbs with the pack from partsulike, they're all working but now the courtesy lights don't come on when the doors open (they work individually though). I saw a thread where a lad had the same problem but on an Alahmbra and he just needed to replace a thread. LEDs do make a massive difference though and look great. Ps did the same for the number plate bulbs and no probs with them

Any updates on this from anyone who's had any success? I tried some ebay jobbies a few weeks back advertised as error free, they weren't
