LED bulbs without error?

Hello everyone,
I am interested in the installation of LED bulbs in my new Polo. As every Polo (without the full-led pack) owner knows, it has those disgusting yellow lamps, so I am looking for 6000K replacements! But...
As I read, no one succeeded in installing LED headlight bulbs without having the canbus error issue. Am I right? If not, which brand did you install without having any error shown? In other cars, I have used Rolinger LED kits without any error. As I understood Polo is a bit difficult in fitting such items
. Let's talk only for LED options
!

I know you've said talk about LED only, but you CAN get the same white as LED using halogen bulbs.
My Philips 5000K bulbs match the LED DRL perfectly.
And for £29 for four bulbs, I'm happy.

So, finally, I bought the Rolinger LEDs (H7 6000K with 50€) and no error came up! Their box is shown in the attached photos! Next week I will also post a photo of the car, with the oncoming LED fog-cornering lights, after I make sure that they do not show can bus errors.

Hello to everyone again!
I finally turned my cornering lights to led, with these 6500K nighteye leds that I bought with 30€. No error shows up!

And now, with the 6000K leds in the headlights and the 6500K leds in the cornering-fog lights, the car looks like this.
I am absolutely satisfied!

Looks good, but I'd prefer a reputable brand name - just for peace of mind.

Yes it would be interesting to see how long they last, any overheating issues and if the light pattern is affected.

Well, in Greece, Rollinger is a really preferable brand name for LEDs. And of course they are not selling cheap products
As for the fog lights, I think that they are the only option for LED fitting (by saying only option, I mean that it would not and DID NOT cause errors). The rollinger are already tested and last very long, as I have already put them in 2 more cars. The fog lights are those that I buy for the first time. And the time will tell! So far, I can tell that both of them shine very bright!

Never heard of Rollinger, but I was referring to 'nighteye'
Had a quick look on Amazon and their reviews aren't great.
I would prefer to wait until Osram/Philips came out with LED bulbs at a good price, they're too expensive right now.

Hello from Greece mate! Do both Rollinger and Nighteye leds you bought still work without problems or errors?

Hello fellow Greek!
Well, the Nighteye turning lights still work perfectly without problems and errors, not even once an error was shown! As for the Rollinger headlight leds, I changed the whole headlamps with the LEDs from the GTI polo and stopped using the Rollinger before 6 months... But in the 5 months I was using them, no error also came up.
I use Rollinger in another car (a Fiat Panda) for about 3 years and they haven't stopped working all these years.
In conclusion, both Rollinger and Nighteye are still suggested by me.
Instead, I don't suggest the aliexpress reverse light leds, because I bought a pair and some times they give me errors. Not every time, but some times.

I see. That's good to know. I'm gonna go with your suggestions since this has been on my mind for too long but didn't want to get disappointed by choosing the "wrong" brand and getting errors
If you don't mind me asking, you eventually decided to go for the GTI original headlights as "the best" upgrade for the job?

Only osram 64210DWNB, they have legal use in Germany and best light geometry. One minus is price.
