Any C5W type bulb will do

39mm festoon C5W

I have these: clicky They are from hong kong, but the seller is good and they produce the right light - ones with more than one led are too bright and just light up the road behind the car!

ok thanks people. how long have the bulbs in the link lasted because iv seen lots that are a couple of quid and only last a few months?

 

[Neo]

ooh a year I am buying them then wanting to go fully LED now need some interior ones for my w8 light now. Thanks for link I too am worried about them not lasting. They easy to change I remember removing them when fitting my new bumper and they were a bit of a pain! Also donated to earthquake appeal on payment!

Small flat-blade screwdriver in the left hand side of the lens, where there is a catch and gently prise it out.

Those led`s will be too bright IMO James, 6watt led`s will just light up the road like crazy and get you pulled- they are also a bit small.

If I'm ordering the one's from ultraLed's as posted above I'm guessing I need to order 2? Or do they come in pairs?

Assuming there are 2 bulbs needed for the Mk4, I haven't really checked tbh!

Yes you need two, so that`ll be £10 plus postage.
Or you could go for the ones I have: clickity and pay £9 for two.

I`ve tried some with 4 led`s, and some with two... these^ are better, great quality and better light.

You got a pic of them on the car at night? Cos I'm looking for something thats brighter but not too blue! How would you describe the colour, like a blue or a very bright white?

Ok, bear with me I`ll try to take a pic tonight.
I`ve found all "white" led`s to be slightly blue. I think the car colour makes a bit of a difference to the light colour, my car is blue so it may look bluer on mine as the light reflects off the bumper a little.
I might be talking nonsense though.

Okay mate! Appreciate it! Sounds good tho, I might have to invest in some!

Here you go:

Car is dirty so light is diminished a little.
