LED Conversion List Version 2
Thought i'd do a proper breakdown as to what is needed for a full LED conversion. This covers the
ST FR,
SC FR and
SE 5DR - If your car is not either of these then please confirm your bulb figment with the following link
http://am-application.osram.info/publish/index_en.html and your owners manual.
According to this link we all actually have the same fitment bulbs, wight he exception of the interior. However they may be some slight variations so please check using the above methods before purchasing.

This is based on my ST FR with the tech pack (so already has LED sidelights, main/dipped beam, DRLs, stop/tail, front indicators, repeaters and numberplate lights)

501s
i personally recommend these
http://partsulike.co.uk/index.php?ma...roducts_id=261 They are more than bright enough for all applications and there are some sensible colour choices available too. Personally went for white for everything except the footwells where i went with red.
Festoons
I personally have these
http://partsulike.co.uk/index.php?ma...roducts_id=109 if you wish to purchase them from elsewhere they are 36mm however if you are a couple of mm out you can always bend the contacts.
H8 or H11
Again personally i got these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2613411379...84.m1439.l2649 which are insanely bright and well worth the investment.
The MK3 actually uses H8s but these are 35w max. you can fit H11's with no issue but you will need to either bend or cut the centre locating tab on the outside ring of the bulb in order to ensure the correct fitment. We don’t want people shooting down aeroplanes now do we!
1156/PY21W
Personally i have used these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2611696833...84.m1439.l2649 Other members have used the same with some locating them from China cheaper, though this can mean a longer wait.
7505/381/BAU15S
Personally i have used these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1612681875...84.m1439.l2649 again others have used the same or have located them from China.
