emdee should have read a few post later ,, he corrected himself (i know an edit should be made)

but as above ive ordered 39mm ones , still awaiting delivery

Lee how long did they take m8, paid on 2nd for em , still not here

 

[LEE69]

Two weeks iirc

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

Noticed the first post has been edited by M0rk on Jan 9th.

If you're reading this m0rk can you change the numberplate ones from 42 to 39mm?

might save other people the hassle it's cost me

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

cant you post back and swap with the supplier

cant think what uses 42 to sell it on like

or goto halfrauds Open box carefully and cleanly use theirs, pop yours in there take back for refund and say they wouldnt fit

It's okay, I've got the issue sorted for myself, but what I'm saying is that I don't think anyone else should have to go through it. All we need to do is change the first post in the thread and it won't happen to anyone else. It's not a major issue for me, but it was inconvenient and could have been avoided.

FOA ADMIN or James_TDI

ye understandable

Admin can you change the post or james do it

cheers

my plate lights arrived this morning week and 2 days its took. not bad really took a month for my vag com cable to arrive

 

[oldman]

that's it agree with previous posts:
Door (puddle) lights -> 39mm
Rear Number plate -> 39mm
nice clean tight fit and so much brighter that the standard rubbish

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

cant believe im still waiting for mine

got a little Q for you all, just purchased myself a W8 light , in here there are 4 501's (apposed to 2x 501's and a 39mm festoon)

but these wedges fit into a little connector type thing then lock into lights ,

i assume these are normal 501's slotted in there ye

cheers

 

[LEE69]

I use the same wedge 501's in my W8 light as i did in my sidelights.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

thats ok cheers lee , i assume i pull them 501's out of the holders then

also still not recieved mine

cheers

 

[LEE69]

Yeah just a push fit.

Should be soon now mate

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

hope so , like having a bike at xmas , and no wheels to use it

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

well mrs says a parcels in the house waiting with bulbs in , i aint ordered anything else so they must have finally turned up wehey

guess what im fitting when im getting home (exept for the rear neo thingies tho , leave mark have a look first

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

yep it was indead the leds

got loads of spares now , didnt think it through lol

one problem tho my boot light is much bigger than 39 more like 42 or more
also was lucky i over ordered the 501 wedges as recently bought a w8 light which has 4 501s appoased to x2 and a festoon

so numberplate lights use either 42mm or 39mm depending on how lucky you are think i may have to remove mine and measure the standard one.


how come those HID kits which have been reccomended are so cheap, kind of worry me, anyone used em?

I was sceptical with HID kits too mate. These are the ones I bought. Excellent quality, low price, next day delivery from UK, I highly recommend them...

Also click on my reader's ride thread below if you want to see photos of what they look like etc. Only took me about 10mins fit too!

No you need 39mm the info in the first post is wrong about the number plate bulbs.
