Hello All,
This is my first post after acquiring my '11 Golf 4dr 6MT TDI (US) back at the end of July '11.
I ordered the license plate LEDs and the interior set from TunerDomes last week. I was pretty excited I wouldn't need to add any additional hardware to work around the bulb out warning light. I received them yesterday and installed the license plate LEDs first.
Really easy install compared to the interior bulbs. Turned on the headlights and tada! pretty nice lighting. I hopped in the car to drive to a Harbor Freight to pick up some trim tools for the interior install and then to my dismay Bulb Out Warning light indicator is illuminated! NOOOOOooo!!!
I've installed the front and rear maps and hatch leds and they look great. Man those map bulbs were a PITA! Still got to do the footwell and glove. I hope I don't have any bulb warnings for anything else. The TunerDomes are bluer than I hoped but not that bad. I think they are as blue as most other LEDs. I was hoping for something closer to daylight color temperature. I might have to bust out some of my camera flash gels.
David @ TunerDomes gracefully said he would refund me for the license plate LEDs.
So now I am back on the hunt for license plate bulb replacements
Has anyone else installed license plate LEDs on the US Spec '11 Golf? What worked for you?
What other LED replacement options are confirmed to work on a '11 Golf?
Thanks!
