got one, fitted it.. it was blue and im not too keen on it... i didnt realise how much i actually used my interior light.. its either that or its sods law and ive needed it more recently

but anyhow im going to get a white one ad i think this one will be much more useful

My brother has a blue one, looks cool but really gives off no light.
Put a link on here when you get your white one, need one myself (:

what interior light do you have... my friend who has a 52 plate polo has a completely different one to me and it literally took 30minutes to figure out how to get it out because VW didn't but it in the book and it wasn't even in a Haynes manual

but in anycase for my car this is the one i will be buying

Cos I just bought the car its still standard. Want to LED it up though.
Yeah it looks confusing, not sure how to get it off.
Reckon you could put together a how-to?

Safe to say I now have one. Didnt want to just change a bulb for the sake of it. But I now have one and it's from eBay but it's brilliant. It was an 8 smd one and is super bright and was a lot cheaper than ultraleds

Long as it wasnt the cheap chinese ones. Those have a habit of the LED's flickering and randomly stopping.
My mate got 20 sidelight bulbs for £2 off of eBay, suffice to say he has to change them pretty often, but he's got plenty. They arent all the same brightness though
