Yeah I have this problem with my LED taillights, never bothered me really!
On my 52 plate when I tried the LED bulbs (before I got the clusters), the left and right sides of the middle brake light were fully illuminated and the middle was half lit. When I got the LED clusters it went to only one brightness for the whole middle brake light. The good news is that when you brake all the bulbs get really bright, so it's not illegal in any way. In fact I think it looks kinda cool![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
On my 52 plate Leon I got a yellow dash light saying "EPC" (Elcetronic Pu$$y Control?), but not on the '05
You need to get a resistor - if you can be arsed. Personally so long as there's no dash light it doesn't bother me.
And before NevLCR says anything I dont have that cheesey Nurburgring sticker on there anymore - it was there when I got the car

Does your led tail lights fit properly because I found that mine rubs when I close the boot lid

Yeah they fit fine for me, maybe you can loosen the screws, shift the rubber seal around and retighten them and they'll move across a bit? 
I bought the same bulbs from halfords too, but i think i'm gonna take em back and get a refund. When i put them in one way on +ve they are really impressive and bright which is what it would look like when u'd brake. However this was obviously the wrong way round, when i changed them to the correct way they didnt work but with a bit of fiddling they sort of worked but dimmer than usual and they were loose. I didnt have any problems with the 3rd brake light though. I took them out to mod them slightly, i filed down the insides of the connction pionts to seperate it further to match the OE bulbs. didnt have much luck here either. May give it one more go.
On the other hand, one of the reasons that i purchased these was to get a more brighter and red light. After i tried the LED's, i had some bulb paint from an old car left over. I painted my OE brake light bulbs red and stuck them back in. They have really made a difference! Instead of having a orangy-red brake light, they are more of a deep red and they really match the LED's of the 3rd brake light. So if your frustrated with trying to get the LED's to work give this a go.
