  • L.E.D festoon number plate bulb?

    Any ideas before I go looking into where I can get replacement No plate lamp globes for nice crisp white LED units, Think you can get a festoon replacement globe for the original holders? (MK4 golf)...............VW..........

    Are you looking for something like this? - http://www.ngmotorsport.com/shop/products/48.php & http://www.ngmotorsport.com/shop/products/47.php

    Wait, never mind, was half-awake so wasn't reading properly lol.

    I've bought some LED lights for different fitments and such from http://autolumination.com/ before. You could try them out if SuperCheap/Repco/Autobarn don't have what you want.

        Just be sure to get the wires and socket lined up with aftermarket LEDs. I'm having a heck of a time with one in my stoplights, and it would have to be the one behind my built in sub box, where access in difficult. Quite annoying! Then again on a number plate light that might be a bonus!

            I upgraded my number plate lights to a crisp white about a year and a half ago. I brought mine from kmart and I have never had a problem with them, and they were a he'll of a lot cheaper than everywhere else I looked. I get slot of people commenting on how good they look too.

                Crisp white LED's

                Yes there are 3 led in each globe, here are some pictures to show you the difference between the standard globes and the new led's.







                Hope these help you,

                    Bright LEDs Xenon White

                    I've have these fitted on my Mk4 Golf GTI
                    with 6 SMD LEDs on each Festoon Bulb they are really bright!
                    im more than happy with them. Had no troubles installing them exchange them over and done they shine onto the road quite well too

                    Hope this helps, i highly recommend these

                        I'm pretty sure they were in a blue packet, you can also test them in the packet before you buy them as they have a little battery set up inside, next time I'm at kmart I will have a look and take a photo for you and look how much they are, worse case if you can't find them I'm more than happy to pick some up for you and chuck them in the post for you

                          Thanks mate, I think they stock different stuff in different stores depending on how big they are. I saw what you mean, the packet with the tester on so you could light up the bulb but they were the push in "501" side light "park" bulbs for the front, didnt find any festoon there. Autobarn sell them but dont do white, just the illegal blue and red ones! If you can find a couple that would be great, let me know how much they are. ...........VW......
