For high beam it is H1 - H7 is the dipped beam in polos :P.

You should get Powerbulbs Powerplus - you get a second pair for nothing, and 10% for buying through the forum :D

Alun - Before you order....

I have had serveral sets from ultraleds, all of them have gone within a few months, in fact the ones I have in now have gone, weird that they started flashing before stopping!!

I should really contact them and get my money back....

Might be some thing to think about, as it's such a pain replacing the lights!

From my past experiences with LEDs on my mk4 I really wouldn't bother. They last a few months & then pack up!

Really not worth the hassle IMO

Agree they do look good but as everyone else is saying they only last for a short period best it to stick with normal bulbs

As I am sure Alun knows, these are metal cased LED sidelights, built to withstand heat emissions from other headlight bulbs in the vicinity, opposed to plastic cased ones which are not.

Of course there is no gurantee of the longevity (like any bulb), but I have had these exact sidelights in my 6n2 gti for 10 months without any issues or failure.
